Addiction can't exist without some sort of enabling. But just the fact of removing the enabling doesn't necessarily provide a long-term solution for addiction.
Have you ever wondered how family dynamics can influence addiction? In this eye-opening episode of Take 12 Recovery Radio, Monty Dale Meyer, known as the Monty'man, sits down with interventionist Matt Brown to tackle this very question. They explore how certain family behaviors, often intended to help, can actually enable addiction to thrive.
