moreResolved Question: What makes people become enablers?
My friend is a serious alcoholic. He was in the hospital for 31 days and 28 of them he spent in a coma. He had serious complications from his drinking which led to necrotic pancreatitis and multi system organ failure. His kidneys started to fail and I prayed for Gods Abundant mercy to save his life. Miraculously, he turned around and was spared.
He has borderline renal failure now and developed diabetes over the whole thing and has to take insulin now. He remained sober for about 2 yrs until his adult daughter moved home with her husband and 2 kids. They brought alcohol back into his home and started drinking in his house, so he joined in. I told her she and her husband should not be drinking around him and she ordered me out of his house and he went along with her. She literally would lock me out of his house and they started drinking together with some friends. She says it doesnt matter, he would have started drinking again anyway. She finally took her whole family and moved out after about 9 months and now the alcoholic demon is back. My friend drinks a bottle of Vodka at a time. He drinks daily and tells me its too bad.
Why does family members enable him. Is it because he has lots of money and they want it? Do they think he will die and leave them something? Why did she do that. Doesnt she love her dad? Is she intentionally being evil? I believe if you are a guest in someones home and you realize they have some addiction or illness, your have an obligation to be supportive and honor the person. Its called family support and he deserves it.
My brother is a recovering alcoholic and all 7 siblings are aware of it, so we have
made a choice not to serve wine and drink at holidays and weddings. Its a respect thing. We have iced tea and coffee at Thanksgiving dinners and no wine. We have punch and no alcohol at weddings. Its family, its being supportive of his problem, and we love him so thats how we show him our support.Family counseling is a major part of sobriety. The alcoholic cannot do it on their own. They need support, support from everyone daughter included. This is why AA has a 12 step program with a support person to call for support 24/7.
They cannot do it on their own. They need everyone to participate. Its vital to their recovery.
