If you’ve been following me on Twitter or Facebook then you know I’ve been researching and writing a book on how we often “Enable” people in our lives in their bad habits. Enabling means, “to make easier”.Sometimes we do this through paying the bills for someone in addiction, covering their tracks for them, or by making excuses for their behavior to others when you know it’s about addiction. Many of us know that enabling others is harmful and counter productive, but we fail to realize when we are doing it ourselves. Here’s my request. If you’ve ever been used by an addict, you’ve enabled, or you have been the addict that has used others to make your life easier – I’d love to hear from you. You can post a brief thought here on the blog and include your email in the set-up and I’ll touch base with you. I need as many illustrations as I can get for types of enabling. One thing I know for sure, this book is going to help many people and I would appreciate your help with it.DC
