Matt Grace was a TV reporter for ABC.
He walked into the newsroom drunk and high on OxyContin at 7:30 AM.
Stumbled into his boss's office. Tried to lie down. Then collapsed and overdosed in front of everyone.
It was 125 degrees outside.
They called it heat stroke.
His father made a phone call and saved his job.
That is enabling in action. The problem gets buried.
The person keeps rotting.
Nobody names what is really happening.
If someone in your life keeps getting rescued from consequences, the consequences will eventually become fatal.
Ownership starts when the excuses stop.
Listen to the full episode to hear what finally broke the cycle. 🎧
