We were making it easier for him for his addiction to be fed. It took us many more sessions with our Aoda, alcohol or drug addiction counselor, to whom we were referred, and many Al-Anon meetings to begin the process of liberation, to stop the enabling to develop a healthy detachment for our son's disease, to not stop loving him but love him in the right way.
Picture this: your home is a whirlwind of chaos, confusion, and helplessness. This is the reality for many families dealing with addiction and alcoholism. In this episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths', SafeHouse Rehab Thailand takes us through the harrowing yet hopeful journey of breaking free from enabling behaviors that keep addiction alive. We meet Alice, a mother who knows this chaos all too well.
She shares her story of how her family slid into the trap of 'desperate enabling'—a well-meaning but ultimately harmful attempt to manage her loved one's addiction. It's a gradual descent that often goes unnoticed until it's too late. Alice's experience highlights a critical truth: enabling, though done out of love, only fuels the disease of addiction. Families often believe they can control or cure the addict, but this is a dangerous delusion.
The real turning point comes with a wake-up call, often through professional intervention. Alice and her husband reached their breaking point and decided to reclaim their lives, one day at a time. They learned to live without guilt, focusing on their own well-being rather than trying to manage the unmanageable. This episode offers valuable insights into how families can develop healthy detachment and seek professional help to break free from the cycle of enabling.
It's a tough journey, but as Alice's story shows, liberation and a happier life are possible.
