Scenario

When friendship becomes entangled with someone's addiction

My best friend has been spiraling with cocaine for two years and I've been covering for her at work and lying to her family about why she cancels plans. I know I'm enabling her but I'm terrified that if I stop protecting her she'll disappear completely, and I can't live with that possibility.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Love and loyalty can transform into a prison where protecting someone from consequences becomes complicity in their destruction.
