What To Do When Someone You Love Is an Addict
If someone you love is struggling with addiction, you already know how exhausting, confusing, and heartbreaking it can be. You want to help — but how do you know when helping becomes hurting?
In this episode of Reframed, Pastor Dan Jarms and Biblical Counselor Brian Sayers walk through a practical survival guide for caregivers, family members, and friends of addicts. They unpack what codependency and enabling actually look like, how to intervene in a way that's honest and loving, and why building your own support team isn't optional — it's essential.
Real love does what is best, not always what feels best.
