This term usually refers to enabling. If you are enabling an addict, you are allowing them to continue their addictive behaviours even if you don't intentionally wish to do so. Giving an addict money, lying for them, helping them or encouraging them to indulge in their addiction and believing them when they lie are typical enabling behaviours. Usually, enablers are family and friends who do not realise they are feeding the addiction, instead believing they are helping the addict.
