Put The Shovel Down, in collaboration with Hope For Families, is dedicated to providing addicts and their loved ones ample information and resources to combat addiction as a team. Hope For Families Recovery Consultants are dedicated to empowering people to take their lives (and families) back from addiction. Addiction is highly predictable and can be outsmarted. Hello 👋🏻, my name is Amber. I'm a Master Addiction Counselor turned Recovery Coach. I've spent my career helping people and families find their way to recovery. Don't believe me?!? Stick around, and I'll prove it to you!

If you've ever tried to talk to someone about their drinking and been met with "I don't have a problem," there's actually more going on than you think.
Not all denial is the same. And understanding the difference could completely change how every conversation about this goes from here on out.
In this video, I'm breaking down the TWO very different types of denial — the kind where they genuinely can't see the problem, and the kind where they know but aren't ready to admit it to you. One is about what's happening in their brain. The other is about what they're not willing to say out loud yet. And the way you respond to each one is completely different.

� Once you understand which type of denial you're dealing with, the next step is knowing how to actually get through to them. Join my FREE Denial Breakthrough Challenge and learn how to reach someone who doesn't think there's a problem — without the argument, without the shutdown, and without losing yourself in the process.

If you've ever walked away from a conversation with your addicted loved one feeling MORE confused than when you started — this is for you.
That disorientation you feel? That second-guessing of your own memory? That exhaustion from trying to find the perfect way to bring something up so it doesn't explode?
You're not losing your mind. You're living with crazy-making. And there's a massive difference between those two things.
In this video I break down:
� What crazy-making actually is — and why it happens inside addiction-affected homes
� The 3 most common forms: Reality Distortion, Emotional Inversion, and Manufactured Doubt
� Why you can't logic your way out of it (and what to do instead)
� 3 concrete anchors to protect your sanity while you work toward real change
This isn't about blaming your loved one. It's about helping you understand what's happening so you can stop doubting yourself and start responding strategically.
