Enabling a Drug 'Addict' or Alcoholic
What is Enabling? How am I enabling my loved one? Enabling can range anywhere from giving the substance abuser money for food (which they will inevitably spend on drugs/alcohol), to allowing the person to continue breaking rules without any consequences. Both of these instances enforce negative behavior, rendering the person unable to accept responsibility for their actions, allowing them to continue on their path of destruction.
