Help is defined as assisting someone to overcome an obstacle or challenge. Enabling, rather, is defined as preventing someone from experiencing the consequences of an action. The difference between these two approaches can be the difference between life and premature death. Helping someone to enter the road to recovery can be life saving. Enabling someone lost in an addictive life cycle can be painful and lead to a premature death sentence. Giving to a person in active addiction can foster a dependence that can be life-threatening. In fact, with today's source of illegal drugs, a person's decision to use could very well be the last decision they ever make. Helping someone make a better decision can be disheartening if they make a preventable bad decision. However, the decisions we make all have consequences and rewards. It's the consequences that foster change. Removing or abating the consequences removes the natural progression of lives hills and valleys mandate. We all must abide by the universal mandate that states for every bad decision, there are consequences, and for every correct or right decision, we receive rewards. In this interplay exist the provisions of God. There is no recovery without God, and often we must get out of God's way so God can do what God does.
