Enabling vs. Supporting: What’s the Difference? When someone you love is struggling with addiction, one of the hardest things to figure out is how to help. You care deeply. You want them safe. You want them healthy. You want them to stop hurting themselves—and everyone around them. So you step in. You pay the bill.You make the excuse.You fix the crisis.You give one more chance.
