I don't want to cause any trouble.

What do you mean?
human
I mean when I compromise on things, it's because I don't want to cause any trouble. I've been in trouble before and I don't want to go back.

Why do you feel like you need to compromise so much?
human
Because I know that if I cause any more trouble, I will be punished. I don't want to mess up the progress I've made.

I understand that. But compromising on everything isn't always the best solution. Maybe we can find a way for you to express your needs without causing trouble.

That's a good point. I'll work on being more assertive while still being mindful of the consequences.

I'm here to support you. Remember when we talked about your sobriety journey and how we were able to work through it together? We can work through this together too.
