One of the painful truths about addiction is that it persists when we enable it.

Palmer struggled with addiction for years, but it wasn’t until he had no more safety nets that he was able to fully plunge into recovery. When his parents stopped bailing him out Palmer was forced to commit to a nonprofit called Haven House in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida.

This is one of the hardest aspects for family and friends. As much as we want to help, we have to make sure we’re not enabling the addiction.

But Palmer also shares a caveat in the interview: timing matters. If someone is early in an addiction, family support is crucial. But as the addiction progresses, it’s much harder to find sobriety when we’re surrounded by safety nets.
