How do you help someone who struggles with an addictive personality
Genuine question.
A friend of mine keeps screwing up and falling off the wagon and he hates himeself for it every time because of the terrible decisions he makes. Besides offering my concern, I really don't know how else to get through to him, because he gets a one track mind when he drinks that leads him to doing things he regrets, but he knows what he's doing is stupid.
At the same time I can't be his babysitter, and I don't want to straight up deck him in the face to get my points across.
Anyway. Question stands.
Edit: Thanks for your perspectives, dudes.

Friends and family can push a person towards taking those steps, but that person ultimately has to be willing to do it, and if they aren't then they're almost certainly going to remain trapped in their current situation. At least, until some external force shakes their life up considerably and they finally get on a better path or possibly even a much worse one. It all depends.
