Encouraging their recovery without enabling is very noble...but only when it doesn't take a personal toll on ourselves.

We can't love or encourage anyone into recovery unless they want it more than they want their drugs.

It's a hard balance to find, that place where we can encourage them and take care of ourselves at the same time.

Meetings helped me find that balance, working the steps helps me live it every day.
