    2. To help my friend, I would first talk to my friend to narrow down their specific type of addiction. Then I would give them websites or explain about how their life can be affected by their addiction. I'd also recommend a doctor or specialist, to help figure out the risk factors for the cause of my friend's addiction. Last, I would try and find other cases of people with the same addiction, and let my friend know it is possible to get over this issue.

  2. To help my friend with addition I would try to help them see the cause of their addition, by observing their patterns, and which of the 9 type/s of addition I learned about they have. I learned that relapses can occur very easily so I would try to help them along with their recover process, and I would also try to help explain to them the way their brain reacts to their addiction as well as how the those individual parts of their brain act with the addiction in play.

  3. I would help my friend by making it so he wouldn't smoke around me, and I would try to get him on some stop-smoking pills and see how far that gets him and if that doesn't work maybe I will just hide his cigs.

  4. Explain how the drug works, what the drug is doing to them and use as many scare tactics as i could and i would try my hardest but if it dosent work i wouldnt know what to do. Sometimes it takes a train to wake someone up.

  5. To help my friend I would probably just talk to them and tell them what is wrong with what they are doing. Then if they do not listen to me I would talk to their parents or an adult that they trusted and see if they could talk to them.

  9. To help my friend I would first try and determine whether or not he/she really has a addiction or not. I would do so by observing their tolerance to the drug. Then I would show them how the drug is affecting their brain. Then I would help get them to a place where their addiction can be helped. After that I would support them through their withdrawal stage.

  12. To help my friend i would show him the costs of his addiction and how negatively it is affecting his friends and family. Also, i would show him the website on what factors in early life can cause addiction. Making sure the withdrawal process is safe and there would be no relapse.

  13. To help my friend I would talk to them to hear what they specifically are addicted to and since when. Then I would show them a video with information about their addiction and examples of people who have experienced the same. Then I would recommend them to go and see a group of people who have been addicted to the same thing and they managed to get out of it. I would explain my friend, what damage the drug causes their body and how much it really affects their life. Furthermore, I would recommend them to go and see a doctor or specialist to hear their opinion about it. Of course, I would always let my friend know, that i'm there and that it is possible to get over and addiction and start a new life.

  17. TO help my friend of their addiction, I would just educate them about what is happenning to them.. maybe take them to a counseling center and hopefully have them reason back to knowing that if they set their minds to it, they can overcome their addiction.

  18. To help my friend,I would bring him in a specialized center where he can learn about dopamine, synapse and everything else. I would show him how using drugs can damage the brain forever. I will support him to go trough withdrawal

  19. I would try and help my friend with his addiction by stressing to him not to smoke, stop buying cigarettes, and find a healthier alternative. The withdrawal symptoms would be terrible, yes, but I know he would see it through. I would present the problems cigarettes cause in short term and long term. My friend has relapsed many times, so maybe he should seek professional help if my efforts failed.
