Amber Hollingsworth’s YouTube talk "Behind the Veil of Addiction" introduces the recovery concept of “unmanageability,” defined here as the chaos, drama, problems and difficulties that follow when someone has an addiction. The speaker frames a progression—from first noticing unmanageability through psychological defenses that allow people to ignore the problem, to becoming fully chemically dependent/unmanageable—and promises to describe the ways people build barriers to seeing their own unmanageability.
