Rob and Tami first want to clear the air on how addicts are not bad people, they are broken people, but inherently they are not evil. This is a common misconception because of all the harm and destruction they’ve caused in people’s lives. It’s just a way for them to cope with their own insecurities and demons. Rob also answers the question on ‘who’ your addict truly is. A betrayed spouse doesn’t know which version to believe anymore and Rob offers some insight on what to expect next.
