Enabling makes it possible, or even encourages, your loved one, to remain stuck in immaturity, irresponsibility, addiction or any other dysfunction.
Picture this: you're trying to help a loved one struggling with addiction, but somehow, your well-meaning actions seem to make things worse. In this episode of 'LAF Life', hosts Tracey, Kelly, Mike, and Lindsey dive deep into the tricky subject of enabling. They share personal stories and hard-earned wisdom on how to spot enabling behaviors and what you can do instead to offer real support.
The hosts don't shy away from discussing their own past mistakes, making this conversation both relatable and eye-opening. They ask the tough questions like, 'Are we helping or hindering?' and 'How can we support without enabling?' If you've ever felt lost on how to help someone you care about who’s battling addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
The LAF Life crew brings their usual mix of honesty, humor, and heart, challenging societal norms about living alcohol-free and emphasizing the importance of community and vulnerability. Tune in for a candid discussion that might just change how you approach support and recovery.
