@SwampFlower How do I help them to get clean ?

@msfancypants It's hard because they have to actually want to stop. Pretty much any mental health treatment requires the patient wanting to change or else it isn't going to stick. Therapy and rehab take a lot of difficult work and dedication. no one can heal if they are passive about it.
Until then the only thing you can do is be there for them while refusing to enable their habits. It's easier said than done because of the guilt trips. If they are emotionally or physically violent towards you, sometimes you have to cut them off and love from far away. It really just depends on their personality type a lot of times.

@SwampFlower Thank you so much for your response. I greatly appreciate it. The problem is...they don't want to stop. 😒
