Sobriety Journal Prompt: Who Enables Your Addiction

Who enables your addiction

Who enables your addiction is a great journal prompt to start or end your day. Enabling means making it easier for you to keep doing something that’s hurting you. Here’s an example. I’ll make it about cake instead of your drug of choice. Say I’m a diabetic and can’t eat cake. Say someone in my life is a daily cake eater and wants me to keep her company. She offers me something I can’t have. It enables me to do something I don’t want to do, and something that can make me sick.

This journal prompt lets you think about that
