This is so true Anvil. Very close to what my own therapist told me about supporting my husband especially in his early recovery. Take care of myself, foster a healthy environment in our home that benefits all of us, and do whatever I felt comfortable with in terms of ENABLING his RECOVERY - NOT his addiction.
What a great reminder for all family members.
