What to Do If Youre Worried About Someone Else

•Pick a calm moment. Not during a fight or when they’re intoxicated.
•Use I statements. I’m worried because I’ve noticed X. I care about you and want to help.
•Offer concrete help. I can go with you to an appointment, I’ll watch the kids, Let’s call together now.
•Set boundaries. Support treatment and safety, not the addiction (no covering lies, no unsafe rides, no repeated bailouts).
•Expect ambivalence. Change often starts messy. Keep the door open without enabling.
