Families often falsely believe that they have to do everything just right. They have to do everything perfectly, not rock the boat. They have to walk on eggshells or they'll be put into the bad guy role or they'll cause a relapse. And this is false, y'all. This is a completely not true thing, but raise your hand if you've thought that and acted accordingly. So today what we're gonna do is we're gonna talk a little bit about this because actually what, when we act like that, it actually inadvertently, out of love and fear and anxiety, feeds the disease of addiction.
