In this episode, we’re diving into the wild, confusing, head-spinning stories we hear from clients every single day—and how they connect directly to the lies and mixed messages addiction feeds families. If you’ve ever thought, “This just doesn’t add up,” you’re not wrong.

Addiction creates chaos. It scrambles logic, twists timelines, and leaves loved ones feeling confused or blindsided. But there are patterns.
We break down the most common “schemes” addiction uses—things like:

Deflecting and redirecting

Emotional baiting

Fake promises and temporary “turnarounds.”

Minimizing or rewriting events

Most of these behaviors aren’t intentional manipulation—they’re survival strategies that keep the addiction cycle going. Once you can see the pattern, you can finally respond from a place of clarity instead of panic.

If you’re tired of feeling confused or constantly second-guessing yourself, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on and how to move forward with confidence and calm.
