Synopsis

Do you have an addict in your life that you are helping, but they seem to be spiraling further down into their addiction? Do you wonder why? Enablers have a hard time seeing how “helping” an addict can be a harmful form of behavior. Enablers are usually kind-hearted people who allow themselves to be taken advantage of when they see someone in trouble. For whatever reason, an enabler needs to be needed and an addict needs an enabler to take care of them, creating a co-dependency relationship. Helping an addict is harmful if it keeps them from suffering the consequences of their addiction and keeps them from taking responsibility for their choices in life. Helping an addict to face up to their addiction and get professional help is good, but providing shelter, food, and making excuses for them when they are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves is called “enabling.” This book has medical information explaining the process of addiction, descriptions of addicts and enablers, plus some "true stories" of both addicts and enablers. These stories will help an "enabler" to fulling recognize how "helping" an addict can be detrimental to their overcoming their addiction.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Audrey started writing over ten years ago. Having a passionate love of books, she developed a desire to also write books. Although she wanted to start writing earlier in life, her busy lifestyle would not allow her to do so because she worked as a registered nurse while raising a family. However, while earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in college, she took writing/English courses. She was forced to retire early from nursing to take care of her debilitated mother which freed her from working outside the home. Needing to earn money, she worked from home for a company that provided articles that averaged about 500 words for websites. This company was very strict, to the point of being picky, and she honed her writing skills. Possessing a vivid imagination and having lived through a lot of good, bad, and ugly experiences in her life, she began to write books. She has written and published six books.
