Scenario

When friend groups avoid confronting someone's drinking problem

Our friend group has someone we all love but who drinks too much and makes gatherings tense and we've all been individually worried but no one wants to be the one to bring it up because we're afraid of making it weird or losing the friendship.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Collective love can become collective enabling when everyone assumes someone else will speak the truth.
