How can I support a friend or loved one who is struggling with addiction?
Offer non-judgmental support and encourage them to seek professional help or attend support group meetings like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous. Educate yourself about addiction and its impacts to better understand their experiences. Set boundaries around enabling behaviors and prioritize your own well-being. Express empathy and encourage them to explore treatment options that align with their needs and goals.
