30 conversations
Family and relationships
The marriages that survived it, and the ones that did not.
Addiction is never one person's problem, however hard the person in it works to keep it that way. Every conversation on the show ends up here eventually.
These are the ones that stay here: what the lying did, what the partner knew and when, and how long it took to be trusted again. Some of these marriages held. Some did not, and those guests talk about that too.
