One way to support someone who is struggling with addiction is to provide them with emotional and practical support. Listen to their struggles, offer empathy and understanding, and let them know that you are there for them no matter what. Offer to connect them with local resources such as treatment centers, counseling services, or 12-step meetings. Encourage them to seek professional help and be honest about the challenges they may face in recovery. Additionally, it can be helpful to remind them of your love and support during this difficult time.
