Inside The Mind Of An Addict

When Helping Your Loved One Becomes Enabling: Knowing When to Step In (and When Not To)


Listen Later

When you love someone struggling with addiction, one of the hardest questions is knowing when to help and when stepping in may actually keep them from facing the consequences of their choices. Should you pay their bills, provide support, or allow them to experience discomfort that could lead to change?

In this episode, we explore how to make these difficult decisions with both compassion and wisdom. You will hear that if you can't sleep at night because you are not doing something for your loved one struggling with addiction, you can give yourself permission to do it. Learn how to balance your heart with healthy boundaries, recognize the difference between support and enabling, and choose what you can truly live with in your relationship with addiction.
