Helping or Hurting? Understanding the Impact of Enabling in Addiction
Enabling equals death in my book right, because we give them money, like I said, you're giving them a place to stay when they can't, you know, support themselves anymore, and the families are constantly giving them a safety net.
When it comes to addiction, the difference between helping and enabling can be a matter of life and death. In this eye-opening episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', host Joanie Sigal tackles this crucial topic head-on. Ever wondered if your well-intentioned support might be doing more harm than good? This episode is for you. Joanie brings in voices from former addicts and their families, sharing raw and real stories about the struggles and triumphs they've faced.
You'll hear about the heartbreak of failed rehab attempts and the joy of finding methods that work.
