Harnessing the Power of Enabling Non-Use in Addiction Recovery

Modifying the behavior around a struggling loved one begins the process of moving the family forward.
Imagine being able to influence your loved one's journey through addiction in a positive way. In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', hosts Laurie McDougall and Annie Highwater dive into the often overlooked concept of enabling non-use. Rather than focusing solely on the negative aspects of addiction, they discuss how families can create moments that encourage sobriety and healthier choices.
Laurie and Annie share six real-life scenarios submitted by listeners, offering practical advice based on the CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) approach. These scenarios range from managing crises to addressing ongoing issues, providing relatable and actionable steps for families. The hosts emphasize the importance of setting boundaries, using positive reinforcement, and protecting oneself from potential abuse. They also highlight the resources available on AlliesinRecovery.net, including e-learning modules and expert guidance, which can further support families in their journey.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to foster a supportive environment for their loved ones battling addiction.
