From what I’ve learned and am still learning Is there is nothing you can absolutely do but be there to support her mentally through her struggle right now - she needs all the prayers she can get right now because she has to hit her own rock bottom before she decides she wants to change herself. I’ve tried to change for so many people I’ve loved and love deeply but none helped my process I had to believe in myself to get up on my feet instead of sitting in everything that has done me wrong or why those things were happening to me me “ Woundology”. I pray she is in good spirits and that she gets her child back.
How can you help an addict?
Hi everyone! Not sure where else I can ask this.
How can a person, who has a drug addiction be helped? She is a young 25 year old who recently got her 2 yr old taken away. She is starting to live in her car, may have an STD. I want to know, how can we make her see that she needs help? Nothing we say seems to mater to her. We know that she’s the one who has to want to, but how can we start that in her? Does something really bad have to happen so she can seek help? Any advise would be appreciated. Very sad to see someone like that and feel like we can’t do anything. It would be great to do something before it’s too late. Thank you 😊

I don’t know why I didn’t see your reply before. Yes, we have figured to just support her mentally right now. We give her words on encouragement and don’t really push by saying she needs help, even though that is what we want her to do. I guess it’s just scary that her rock bottom might be too late or something that can’t be reversed. It really is her decision and we just pray that that day comes really soon! Thank you for replying 😊
You can't help someone who doesn't want help. She has to make that first step. If you try and force her into getting help it'll just makes it worse.

Yes, this is true. We don’t intend on forcing her because we want her to want to get help. We give her words of encouragement and love and let her know we are there for her no matter what😊 Thank you for replying 😊
