Grief and enabling often walk hand in hand when dealing with a loved one’s addiction. In this episode of 'Freedom From Addiction', hosts Jeff, David, and Derek dive into this complex relationship. They share personal stories and professional insights to help you understand the fine line between supporting and enabling someone struggling with addiction. Have you ever felt like your attempts to help might be doing more harm than good? This episode sheds light on that very concern.
The hosts explore the stages of grief that families experience, emphasizing how these emotions can lead to enabling behaviors. Jeff shares a poignant moment about how anger can become a barrier to faith and healing. It's a raw, honest discussion that many will find relatable and eye-opening.
