Addiction Makes Three

61 - When You Don’t Know Whether to Stay or Leave


Listen Later

You love them and you’re exhausted.

One day there’s hope, the next there’s heartbreak.

And the question won’t stop circling your mind: Should I stay, or should I leave?


In this episode, Amanda helps you step off the exhausting mental treadmill of “what ifs” and find solid ground again.


You’ll learn:

  • Why both staying and leaving are hard
  • The real question you need to ask instead
  • How doing your own inner work is the key to clarity


Whether your partner is in active addiction, early recovery, or somewhere in between, this conversation will help you stop waiting for a sign, start choosing you and get you stepping closer to making decisions that feel good, even when they are hard.

  • Ep 42 - How many chances is too many?
  • Ep 27 - Should you Leave or Stay? Why that's not the Only Question
  • Ep 23 - How to get through a relapse without losing hope
