Drugs To Stop Drinking

How can I tell a friend to stop drinking, or drugs without seeming like a scapegoat or a freak. How can I encourage them that they dont need drugs? I want to help many of my freinds, but sometimes I do not know how

I know you. I usually stay away from affairs of other nations so and let them do what they want. This is probably why they do things in the first place - they do not feel accepted in this world and you deal with them or ask them about it might make them feel even more a pariah unacceptable. If it is a close friend or family member I would try to tell you how it hurts to see them like that and want to know if something is wrong.

The most precious help that I never got anyone else is seeing them live true to themselves.
