Why You Don_t Support Addicts

from THINK BEFORE YOU SLEEP · host THINK BEFORE YOU SLEEP

🚫 "You've tried to help. You've given money. You've offered rides." But supporting an addict often enables them, not helps them. Boundaries aren't cruelty—they're survival. Research shows that "tough love" (refusing to enable) is more effective than unlimited support. This episode explores why you stop enabling, how to set boundaries without guilt, and when to walk away entirely. You can't save someone who refuses to save themselves.
