Effectively Supporting Someone Struggling with Addiction

Supporting a person who is struggling with addiction requires more than just kindness. It involves being there for them, even in their darkest moments. The speaker shares a personal example of a close friend who was caught in the grip of addiction, emphasizing the importance of providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment.
