There’s a massive divide in the recovery world right now.

One side says “tough love kills people.” The other says “boundaries save lives.” Both sides are right — and both sides are dangerously wrong.

In this video, I break down:

• Why total abandonment pushes people toward the most dangerous tribes

• Why enabling disguised as compassion keeps families trapped

• The difference between abandonment and structured, loving boundaries

• Why families need to offer an exit ramp, not a rescue mission

• How real communication + real boundaries actually work

This isn’t about kicking someone out. It’s not about cutting them off. And it’s not about pretending consequences don’t exist. It’s about keeping the family intact without feeding the addiction.

When someone is in active alcoholism or addiction, relationships don’t function the way people expect them to.

In this episode, Sam Davis sits down with Sarah Pritchard, co-owner of Impact Recovery Center, for an unfiltered conversation about what relationships felt like when they were drinking — and what it’s like to be in a relationship with an actively addicted individual.

This is not a clinical breakdown. It’s the chaos, the rationalizations, the emotional confusion, and the constant push-pull that families and partners live inside every day.

We talk about:

• How addiction distorts love, loyalty, and responsibility

• Why partners feel unseen, unloved, and gaslit

• The difference between intention and capacity in active addiction

• Why trying harder almost always makes things worse

If you’re asking yourself, “Do they actually love me?” — this conversation will give you clarity, even if it’s uncomfortable.

Some people don’t just relapse — they live in a cycle. Drink, detox, swear it’s different this time… then end up right back where they started. For Colleen Quinn, that cycle lasted years. She tried getting sober, she tried changing locations, she even watched her own father recover while she couldn’t break free.

In this episode, Colleen tells the truth about chronic relapsing — what it feels like to lose control over and over again, to plan your next detox before you even pick up, and why nothing ever stuck until she reached Burning Tree Programs. Colleen explains what finally clicked, what progress-based treatment actually looks like, and how her stay at Burning Tree helped her surrender, rebuild, and stay sober for good.

We also answer key questions for families struggling to understand relapse and recovery, including:

• Why relapse is more about identity than alcohol

• What has to change before sobriety can last

• What real surrender looks like

• How structure and long-term accountability change outcomes

If your loved one keeps relapsing, this story is proof that the cycle can be broken — but not with another 28 days and another promise. Something deeper has to shift. 📌
