There are far too many family and friends that are enablers and don't hold these drug addicts accountable. It's a known fact, that many times the people closest to the drug addict become "yes men & women". When covering for the addict like this lets them know that they have a safe space to continue their bad behavior, which will only perpetuate it.
When it comes to addiction, many may not understand the meaning of the word ‘enable.’ In everyday usage, it means ‘allow’ or ‘permit’ an action. In the context of substance addiction, it is similar but a lot more detailed as to what constitutes enabling behavior.
An enabler is usually a friend or loved one of an addict who passively allows or permits addictive behavior in them. It can be by lending money or ignoring problematic behavior from the addict.
An enabler does nothing to prevent substance abuse and instead provides circumstances that make it easier for that behavior to continue. It is important to note that an enabler is not necessarily in support of the addiction and may want it to stop but continues to aid as they may feel they do not have the power to prevent it or fear the consequences if they don’t.
Many enablers believe that by exhibiting behaviors such as lending money, ignoring their behavior, or covering for an addict, they are helping them, either by keeping their addiction under control or protecting them from the consequences of their addiction.
A loved one or someone close to an addict may recognize the severe damage that addiction is doing to the person’s life, but they never mention it without the seriousness that such a topic deserves. They may do this because they fear the reaction of the addict. The first step to getting better is to be able to identify the problem, so it is important not to act like it doesn’t exist.
I find it rather ridiculous that Matthew Perry's family is blaming other people for his addiction. The man chose to do the drugs, nobody forced him to do them. His family seems to find it easier to blame someone else for his drug problems than take responsibility for them. It is painful to see someone they care about dealing with an addiction, so they look for someone else to blame. This is enabling because it means that you are making it so that the addiction was not the fault of the addict.
He was never sober thats the truth. RIP
So sad
May he rest in peace
Still can't believe you left us one year ago Matty 😫. RIP Matthew Perry 😢💔🕊️🌹🙏🏼.
100,000+ opioid deaths per year, every year in the USA. Addiction is wiping out a generation of our citizens.
It just comes down another star dies of a drug od thats 100% a fact by choosing to take the drug because of addiction
the other 1/2 of Matthew' family have been left out….why
This is heartbreaking and sad R.I.P Matthew Perry 1969-2023 age 54 Drug Overdose
even though Keith was Matthews stepdad you can tell he really loved him. sometimes blood doesn't mean a thing
I cannot imagine what this family, and any family, goes through when their loved one is constantly teetering on the edge of death, and there’s absolutely nothing they can do to pull them back. Matthew wanted so badly to live, and had a family and countless friends who would’ve done anything to save him, but it just wasn’t enough. It’s been over a year, and it’s still heartbreaking. It’ll never be anything but.
So sad..the world loved your son you all did a good job.❤nz
RIP Rest in Peace Matthew Perry😥😢😓😭 I can’t believe it’s been a year already since Matthew Perry Passed away where has the time Gone Gone too soon😥😢😓😭
. matthew suffered that his life was spread everywhere.. it's good what they do to help others but no need to know everything, it becomes opportunism
His death has made my life miserable. I can’t get the medication I need because of his terrible choice to abuse ketamine so blatantly. My doctor couldn’t carry her malpractice insurance pertaining to home administration of IM ketamine. I’m an agoraphobic with severe PTSD. This has been the worst year of my life directly because of Matthew Perry. Selfish personified.
Such a shame 😢Those people that supplied those drugs need to be locked up and they need to throw the key away !!!! 😡
Did they post a photo of Matthew with his biological father whilst Keith was talking?
