If an addict is happy with you, you are most likely enabling. When you put that foot down, when you put that boundary up, stay strong with God and know that he will fight with you.
Ever wondered if your actions might be unintentionally keeping a loved one stuck in their addiction? In this episode of 'Hope After Addiction', hosts Katie Comer and Chelsea McLeod dive deep into the tricky topic of enabling. They share their personal stories and hard-earned wisdom, offering a candid look at how certain behaviors can actually perpetuate addiction.
Katie and Chelsea discuss how providing financial support, making excuses, or hiding the consequences of an addict's actions can be more harmful than helpful. They stress the importance of setting clear boundaries, being honest, and maintaining transparency to help your loved one take responsibility for their choices. The psychological manipulation that often accompanies addiction is another key point they cover, emphasizing the need for vigilance and support from others who truly understand the struggle.
Throughout the episode, faith and prayer are highlighted as powerful tools in finding hope and strength during the recovery process. This conversation is not just about pointing fingers but about finding a path to healing for everyone involved. It's a must-listen for anyone feeling lost in the chaos of a loved one's addiction, offering a compassionate and practical guide to breaking the cycle of enabling.
