Summary

When we love someone that drinks too much or suffers from addiction, it’s easy to go down the rabbit hole of researching their issues and offering them a label or diagnosis.

And frankly, why wouldn’t we? We know they have a problem, and we love them. We’re trying to help. Right?

Well, I actually have a different idea, sister. I know, this may be hard to hear, but let me explain. There’s something else that we can be doing instead, that will truly make an impact on the situation and be so incredibly helpful.

Listen to the podcast for my ideas on why labeling isn’t appropriate, when it is acceptable, and what you can do instead. I also share three bonus tips on the podcast… Enjoy!
