Addictions are all about hitting the bottom.

If you enable him, you are keeping him from hitting his bottom.

In order to get him serious enough to stop, you have to set some parameters on what he will lose if he doesn’t – your love, your home, your support, etc.

Until he understands the repercussions of not quitting, you are battling an uphill battle.

Tough love is always best when dealing with addictions – don’t be an enabler.
