Amber Hollingsworth explains why people in addiction say they'll cut back but don't follow through. She breaks down the intention behind the promise, why it fails, and what to do if you hear it from someone you love.
I'll cut back, I promise. Maybe you've said that to your family members. Maybe you're a family member and you've heard that from your loved ones. It's a very common statement and intention in the recovery process, but as we already know, it usually leads to a lot of broken promises. And I want to explain why that is, what the intention behind it is, why it normally doesn't work. And I also want to talk a little bit about how to respond to that kind of situation, whether you are the person who's broken the promises, how to respond, or you're the person, the family member who is on the other side of that broken promise. I want to talk about both sides and the best way to respond to the situation from every angle.
