It is difficult for an enabler to see their own issues because they are so focused on rescuing their loved one with substance use disorder. Enablers need to be confronted and challenged to admit their dysfunctional behaviors.
Picture this: you're trying to help a loved one struggling with addiction, but your well-intentioned actions might actually be making things worse. In this episode of 'Rock of Recovery', Angie Meadows sheds light on the complex world of enablers. She breaks down various types of enablers—prime, primary co-, sympathetic co-, entangled, detached, and unsuspecting—each with their own unique characteristics and challenges. Angie doesn't shy away from the tough conversations, urging listeners to confront and challenge these dysfunctional behaviors head-on.
She also dives into setting legal boundaries, dealing with co-enablers, and recognizing the financial toll of enabling. Personal anecdotes pepper the discussion, offering a raw and relatable perspective on this sensitive topic. By the end of the episode, you'll have a clearer understanding of how to stop enabling and start supporting your loved one in a healthier way.
