“I’ll Cut Back, I Promise” — Why It Rarely Sticks


You’ve heard it before: “I’ll cut back. I promise.” But time after time, the same patterns return. In this episode, we break down why these promises feel so hopeful in the moment—and why they often fall apart.


Amber Hollingsworth dives into:




  • The psychology behind well-meaning but empty promises




  • Why “cutting back” can actually fuel the addiction cycle




  • How you can respond in ways that protect your peace




  • Steps to turn frustration into action—and help your loved one move toward real change




If you’re tired of the broken promises and ready for clarity, this one’s for you.
