Dr. Rob and Tami discuss if it’s possible for an addict to get better when he/she shows all the signs of not putting in the work. Will this person ever wake up to the reality of the pain that they’re causing friends and family? And if not, what can the partner do to protect themself from this situation? Dr. Rob and Tami answer all of this and more.   TAKEAWAYS: [:30] I’m on my last hope with my partner. Will he ever get sober? [5:35] The path to recovery is bumpy, but so worth it. [8:20] If your partner isn’t doing the work, then it might be best to grieve him and then move on. [9:10] My addict was the worst thing to happen in my life. How do I stop stressing out about my past? [14:20] When you don’t like where you are, that’s when you’re more likely to turn on yourself. [15:45] My addict is NOT willing to do the work. What can I do? [16:55] You can’t make anybody change. [22:25] Most times addicts don’t come into treatment centers for themselves. [27:30] Do you want to punish your addict or do you want to feel better about yourself?   RESOURCES: Seekingintegrity.com Email Tami: Tami@Seekingintegrity.com Sexandrelationshiphealing.com Intherooms.com Out of the Doghouse: A Step-by-Step Relationship-Saving Guide for Men Caught Cheating, by Robert Weiss Prodependence: Moving Beyond Codependency, by Robert Weiss Sex Addiction 101: A Basic Guide to Healing from Sex, Porn, and Love Addiction, by Robert Weiss Cruise Control: Understanding Sex Addiction in Gay Men, by Robert Weiss
