I don't think it's a good idea to just overarchingly say: oh, enabling's bad, tough love is good, let's go fucking do it.
Is enabling always a bad thing? This episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of) - The Podcast' dives into this thorny question with hosts Billy and Jason, joined by guest Jenny. They unravel the complex layers of enabling in addiction, challenging the black-and-white thinking that often surrounds this topic. Is tough love really the best approach, or can enabling sometimes be a lifeline that keeps someone alive long enough to seek help?
Jenny brings her unique perspective to the table, sparking a lively discussion about harm reduction and the real-world impact of so-called 'tough love'. This episode doesn't just skim the surface; it delves deep into the emotional and practical aspects of supporting someone struggling with addiction. Whether you're grappling with these issues yourself or supporting a loved one, you'll find plenty of food for thought here. Tune in for a conversation that promises to be both eye-opening and heartening.
