Enablers keep the addiction moving in full force, by making excuses for the addict/alcoholic, cancelling plans or calling in work for them, helping them avoid taking responsibility for their current condiition. Theyll often make drug or booze runs for them, but sadly, they're not often aware of how much of a role this behavior plays in helping the alcoholic commit slow suicide.

An enabler unknowingly supports the addictive behavior by enabling the person to continue drinking without facing consequences. This can include making excuses for their behavior, covering up for them, or providing financial or emotional support that allows the addiction to persist. Ultimately, the enabler can prevent the addicted person from seeking help and making positive changes in their life.
