Recovery (Sort Of) - The Podcast

100: To Enable or Not to Enable, That is the Question (Sort Of)


Listen Later

Enabling. It's bad right? You don't want to be called an enabler. The person that is just letting their loved one use without consequence. Because all those consequences like being homeless, not eating, being totally alone when you do your street drugs, they are going to get you clean or sober, right? We have Jenny join us to take a deep dive into the idea of enabling. We discuss if enabling is harmful behavior, or if it's possible that it keeps you alive long enough to possibly seek treatment. Is tough love really the answer? Are people really better off on the other end of tough love? Are those types of consequences really what pushes people to get clean? We've considered the idea of enabling to be a bad thing for a long time, but it's time we think more about harm reduction and helping people stay alive.
