Are you helping… or quietly keeping someone stuck? This might be the hardest module in the entire course — and for a lot of people in recovery, it’s the most freeing.In Module 7 of The Let Them Theory Recovery Course, we unpack the difference between support that empowers and enabling that slowly destroys, especially when the person you’re trying to “help” is someone you love. Many of us get sober and unknowingly trade substances for a new addiction: fixing other people. We nag. We rescue. We shield people from consequences — all in the name of love — and end up exhausted, resentful, and spiritually bankrupt.In this video, we cover: The Savior Complex and why it keeps everyone stuckWhy pressure, nagging, and ultimatums backfire (neurology explains this)The critical difference between helping vs. enablingThe powerful ABC Loop (Apologize, Back Off, Celebrate)How to influence change without becoming the parent, warden, or rescuerWhen it’s time for radical acceptance… and when it’s time for boundariesThis module is especially important if:You’re supporting someone who’s still using or stuckYou feel responsible for someone else’s recoveryYou’re constantly cleaning up messes that aren’t yoursYou’re exhausted from rowing the boat for everyone else👉 This video is part of the FREE Let Them Theory Recovery Course, available inside the Sober Not Boring App.📱 Download the app to: Enroll in the full course for freeAccess printable recovery handoutsUse real-life recovery toolsJoin discussions for each moduleReflection question: Who in your life are you rowing the boat for right now — and what would happen if you stopped?
