They Don’t Want Help—Now What. Setting Boundaries Without Enabling Addiction
Oct 20, 2025

Recovery starts where willingness begins. Not everyone who shows up actually wants help—and that gap shows in language, attitude, and behavior. Checking boxes isn’t the same as doing the work. When victim identity brings comfort or attention, real change stalls and relapse cycles continue.
True recovery takes humility and action: admitting powerlessness, accepting accountability, and sticking to daily practices that support sobriety. No one can do it for you.
Often, turning points come when the bottom hits—when excuses fail and hard truths land. Boundaries can accelerate that clarity and sometimes save lives.
Recovery isn’t guaranteed, but it’s possible. If you’re ready to change, start with honesty and action. If you love someone in chaos, set clear terms and stand firm.
