What would have happened with Kim's addiction if she hadn't been on the show??

So what is very obvious from the first half a dozen season of BH is that Kim's family were full blown enabling her addiction.

Whenever it was brought up Kim would flip it so that it became about how her feelings were hurt and how horrible the person was for bringing it up. It was clear that it had never been a topic that was discussed or if it was brought up it was dropped the minute Kim turned on the water works. I dont even think we can blame Kyle and Kathy for this and think it comes from big Kathy ignoring it because of what she put Kim through as a child actor (whole other discussion) so Kyle and Kathy just followed big Kathy's way.

Kim also constantly blamed Kyle for other people talking about HER addiction and how obvious things were. It was like Kim expected Kyle to shut the conversation down and deny it was true. Which again I think we can blame big Kathy for. I loved the addition of Eileen whom was asking the right questions, are you attending meetings, do you have a sponsor, etc because Kim's family were just accepting her saying she was sober but clearly not by using any kind of support system from outside the family.

Anyway the family had been enabling and hiding Kim's problem for decades but once on a reality show it was no longer possible to hide it.

Other cast started asking questions and noticing things and with social media, fans were also asking questions. I think this highlighted how bad things were with Kim and that it's not something they should be brushing under the carpet.

Without the show I'm not sure Kim would have ever gotten help and her family would have continued to let her be an out of control addict that they made excuses for.

Without the show her making a public spectacle of herself in a hotel or stealing wouldn't have been such a big deal and it would have been most likely brushed under the carpet.

Without the show I'd hate to think where Kim would have ended up.

What's others opinion?
