If your friend is smoking two packs a day, drinking a 12 pack of beer, and knocking down 3 big macs a day........

are you doing them a favor by telling them the world should love them just the way they are ??? are we helping them jump into an early grave by telling them everything is gonna be okay ??

I had a friend like that. He committed suicide.
There was not much I could tell him other than that understand he was going through a lot.

Because those are heavy cases.
Difficult. Just let him know that you understand.
And yes now and then say something about their bad habits. Or rather, do something, like invite him for dinner.
But not try much. Just a little bit, so the other is aware of your thoughts but not putting pressure anywhere
