  • Avoid blaming and shaming your loved one. Be clear that it is the addiction that is causing the problem, not them as a person.

  • Listen to their views and experiences and validate their feelings. A simple statement like “That sounds very difficult” can go a long way.

  • Offer to help them find treatment or support groups. If they resist, explain that you respect their decision and are there to help if they change their mind.
