You're contributing to the disease, right, you're being a part of it, and I can honestly add, anyone I have ever tried to control ended up controlling me right, right, exactly exactly.
Ever found yourself wondering if your help is actually hurting? In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', hosts Laurie McDougall and Annie Highwater dive into the tricky waters of enabling behavior. They share personal stories and offer a short quiz to help you identify if your well-meaning actions might be contributing to a loved one's addiction.
Laurie and Annie break down the signs of enabling, from covering debts to making excuses, and discuss why it's crucial to set boundaries and stay true to your own values. They also introduce the Craft Method, a strategy focused on positive communication and reinforcement to encourage treatment. This episode isn't just about pointing out problems; it's about finding better ways to lend a hand without getting caught in the cycle of addiction.
Whether you're dealing with immediate crises or long-term challenges, Laurie and Annie provide practical advice and real-world solutions that resonate deeply with anyone affected by addiction. They highlight resources available on AlliesinRecovery.net, offering tools and expert guidance to help you become an effective ally for your loved one. Tune in for an episode filled with empathy, support, and actionable insights that can make a real difference in your journey.
