Ok, usually when someone who does 12-step says enabler, they mean something bad. In this case, though, I'll make an exception.
My Christopher... he drove the 5 hours up to Oxford, MA so I could teach my mustard class. Even though there really wasn't any interesting classes for him. He put up with me whining Saturday morning about how we couldn't stay another night and visit the Met on the way back because he had a cook's guild meeting. He paid for the dinner that night, the very nice hotel room, and the dinner the next day, because I'm broke. He drove the 5 hours back with me napping part of the time (including the suddenly waking up and flailing from time to time). He sat through discussions at dinner that bored him silly, but admitted that the people he met were really nice and he was really glad I had made arrangments to go out to dinner with them. The next day he bought me a number of things at the China Outlet, just because I wanted them.
No, he's not a saint (I could have done without the continuous poking-my-buttons on the drive up, for instance). But he has made my work a lot easier and I'm sure he doesn't know how much I appreciate it.
