My Addict Has Become Paranoid and Is Collecting Evidence Against Me
Rob and Tami share why recovery is so important and that you cannot go through this journey alone. For many people who are in recovery, they have seen the long-lasting effects it has had on their life and it’s completely changed their whole life outlook and outcome. Rob and Tami also talk about the differences between addictive behavior and compulsive behavior, and why an addict might become paranoid after he's been ‘outed’ by a spouse.
