Promises, Promises: When They Say They’ll Get Help… But Don’t”

If you’ve ever held onto hope after hearing, “I’ll stop drinking” or “I just need time”—only to be let down again—you’re not alone. In this powerful episode, Amber Hollingsworth unpacks one of the most painful patterns families face in addiction recovery: the cycle of broken promises.

This episode explores:

  • The line between manipulation and genuine intent

  • Why addiction makes follow-through so difficult—even when intentions are real

  • What families can do to encourage real change instead of more empty words

    Whether you're a loved one struggling with disappointment or someone searching for clarity in the chaos, this episode is packed with insight and practical advice to help you break the cycle and move forward.
