To : every addict/alcoholic
Answer your phones when loved ones call and want to just hear your voice!!! Being on the other side now I definitely know how hard it can be on these people. I held my parents hostage for 2 years and looking back now that I am sober it’s heartbreaking to think of them staying up for nights on end worrying about their 41 year old daughter. It simply takes A SECOND TO LET THEM KNOW YOU ARE OK... SOMEONE IS PRAYING FOR YOU RIGHT NOW

Enabling according to the dictionary is ....
providing the power, means, opportunity, or authority to allow someone to do something.

So what is the difference between helping and enabling?
Addiction is a beast. It’s bigger than you and I. You cannot control anyone or anything on this earth except for yourself. You are not able to control your love ones addiction, drinking etc.
Addiction is a process that we have to go through we have to face the hard times, when family interferes and attempts to lessen the pain By giving money ,being manipulated into doing things for an addict when they are able to do those things for themselves. This only keeps them sick. Al-Anon is a resource that family members friends and love ones can turn to in order to decipher whether or not you were hurting or helping. You will find that you are prolonging the disease if you’re placing the addicts needs above your own. Please educate yourself on the disease of addiction. Try to better understand what you were up against. There is no human power That can relieve an addict of this insanity. That’s what they teach us in Alcoholics Anonymous.
Reach out for help if you find that what you have been doing is not working…

Intervention is an opportunity to interrupt a person’s destructive life patterns. It’s a Starting Point. Some interventions have the goal of healing and will identify the appropriate plan of recovery. Others will enable their person and family to accept treatment and recovery. The interventionist supports, educates, provides guidance, direction and training, as well as the facilitation of the intervention, treatment placement and aftercare. I believe that every addicts/alcoholic has different needs and Not every facility is the same. What works best for one isn’t what may work for another. I pride myself in knowing what to expect from each side of the road. After interviewing a client, I am able to narrow down one of the several facilities that I referred to across the United States
An interventionist is a helpful tool for individuals family members or friends who may resistant to addressing his or her problem. Guidance from the other side. Otherwise known as tough love… That’s where I come in… Tune in for my next blog… You might find it is exactly what you’re looking for

Addiction is a brain disorder characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli despite adverse consequences.[9] Despite the involvement of a number of psychosocial factors, a biological process – one which is induced by repeated exposure to an addictive stimulus – is the core pathology that drives the development and maintenance of an addiction. The two properties that characterize all addictive stimuli are that they are reinforcing (i.e., they increase the likelihood that a person will seek repeated exposure to them) and intrinsically rewarding (i.e., they are perceived as being inherently positive, desirable, and pleasurable).
This disease is BIGGER than any human comprehension. It is powerful and and baffling.
Addicts are born with this gene, they most definitely did not sign up for a life of chaos,hurt and loss.
