Love and addiction

Loving someone in active addiction tests the boundary between love as care and love as enabling — between standing with someone through difficulty and standing by while they harm themselves. The relationship between love and addiction runs in multiple directions: love can be a genuine resource in recovery, and it can also become organized around the addiction in ways that harm everyone involved. This domain examines the territory with compassion and without illusion.
