How do we stop enabling our addicted loved one while they still live in our home?
What happens when your adult child is sober… but still living at home, and the family feels stuck between helping and enabling? In this episode of The Unbroken, Sam Davis and Thomas McCollum break down one of the most common and emotionally exhausting questions families face: “How do we stop enabling our addicted loved one while they still live in our home?” They discuss: The difference between support and enabling Why clear communication matters in recovery How fear keeps families walking on eggshells Why abstinence alone is not recovery Setting expectations, boundaries, and exit plans Why adult children need responsibility to rebuild self-esteem The danger of families becoming “relief-seeking missiles” Why addiction thrives in chaos and confusion The importance of family recovery alongside the addicted individual This conversation comes directly from the real-world experiences of two intervention professionals who have lived through addiction personally and now work with families every day. If you have a loved one struggling with addiction, alcoholism, relapse, or failure to launch, this episode is for you.
