Coming from a person with absolutely zero experience, make a note of this...
I believe it is all down to the circle? If this person hanged around successful, sober people they would influence him.
Ifbhe hangs around with people that enable him.. He just becomes worse amd worse.
They need a healthy hobby to keep them distracted. Ifbyou could fet them to the gym... It d be excellent.
But again.. Zero experience here.
There are help lines you can call and ask for more help.
Mostly, there are good people around. There is only one problem person. I think we are seeing an isolation phase.
Gym has helped, but this person really needs to fix the diet. The gym just isn't doing it, at all.
The help lines generally try to get you to a facility to get help. So, there is a little market finagling people, there. I mean... most of them are fine, depending on who you are dealing with. My main concern with those services is that addicts meet other addicts and learn other addicts' tricks. It's really obnoxious to deal with an addict, once they've learned a lot of those shitty little strategies.
