How do I talk to a loved one with addiction problem?
what are the steps:
1. know what the problem is? TALK TO THEM. Try to find out what they are using? what are they feeling? when did it start? was there an incident during that time? do they want help?
2. Try to understand or search affects of the substance they use? why cant they stop? Is it easy for them just to stop? what are withdrawal symptoms they experience when they stop? what health impact do they get? IT'S NOT EASY, TO JUST STOP! THEY NEED HELP!
3. How do I help? read about how can you help? empathy? do not enable but support. Talk to them that you want to help, how can you assist? listen more, talk less. remind them their life before using and that it is possible to be free of using.
4. Search for external help because you can not help on your own if they are addicted. Is professional help available in your area? Contact them and see how can they help.
