It's been a struggle to balance my professional and family 'commitments'. [=to do both what I have promised to do for my job and what I have promised to do for my family]
I can't coach my daughter's basketball team. I have too many 'commitments' already. [=I have too many things that I have promised to do]

(..) Hope to die. Okay. May my friends and family, witness this act. an irrevocable promise to my commitment, that... Fuck it. I promise not to touch this shit ever again. Okay. Let's play cold turkey. (..)2013 Evil Dead
