When addiction takes control, it doesn’t just destroy the person using — it pulls everyone around them into the chaos. In this powerful episode, Jason Coombs explains the spiral — that heartbreaking stage when addiction hijacks logic, love, and trust — and shows families how to stop getting dragged down with it.

If you’ve ever felt torn between helping and enabling, this episode will give you the clarity and courage to step back without giving up. Jason shares practical tools for detaching with love, setting healthy boundaries, and protecting your own peace while your loved one finds their bottom.

In this episode:

  • Why promises keep breaking — and what’s really happening in the brain
  • How to recognize when you’re getting pulled into the spiral
  • The truth about rescuing: why helping often hurts
  • The “Emotional Raincoat” — a mindset that lets you stay loving without losing yourself
  • What it means to be powerless over them but powerful over you

If you’re exhausted from trying to fix someone else’s addiction, this episode will show you how to find peace, strength, and hope — even when they’re still in the spiral.
