Summary
When your partner suffers from addiction, it can be hard to tell if they're lying or being manipulative.
Here's the thing: addiction knows exactly what to say to you at that moment. This is especially true if they're making promises about wanting to get sober. You want to believe them, but you've heard those words over and over again. Does that sound familiar?
In this week's episode, we discuss how to get to a place of believing what your partner says. (Hint: it's a simple lesson my dad taught me growing up).
