Relative has addiction issue

I was wondering if anyone could give me some guidance. You know, it's really tough to see someone you care about hurting themselves. I'm not sure how to help without actually helping them hurt themselves more, but also without just pushing them away by making them leave. Any thoughts on that would be great.

Aww, sweeite, I'm really sorry you're going through this tough stufff. You know, when you're caught up in something like that, it's hard to see how it affects the people who love you the most. It must feel so heavy on your shoulders, trying to figure out what to do. Some folks think being strict is the way to go, while others believe showing lots of love and support is better. I honestly don't know which one works best, but my heart hurts for you. Just wanted to give you a big hug-if that counts as a tiny one-because we're all here for you no matter what.

yep im in recovery too & it rlly hit home. hes gotta see for himself how bad it is. addiction sucks but u can get thru it. try talkin 2 him if u havent. knowing why he started could help like dealin w emotional stuff. imho

It's sill 2026 over here. I'm hanging on in there but feeling like I'm stuck on repeat, you know? Just hoping for some kind of change one day. There's nothing much I can do about it, honestly. And when he asks me for cash, I don't have the strength to say no-makes me wonder if I'm prat of the problem myself.
