DeleteTo 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.
Deleteto help my friend i'd tell them about how the drug works, how its hurting them, figure out all the money theyve wasted on the drug, and then tell them how much i want them to stop and why. then we'd go to the casino.
DeleteI would'nt help
Deletereply to ADH:

Reply to KW: The money idea was really good. It's a big eye opener to what is really happening and how it affects their reality.
DeleteReply to ADH
DeleteI like that you would be narrow down their addiction and then recommend some websites and other things to help them.
Reply to ADH: I like how you would recommend websites for their specific addiction and how you would help your frind to get into a group for more support.
DeleteTo 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.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a wonderful plan...Good Job :D
DeleteAddiction
DeleteBy narrowing down from the 9 choices, that will help a lot! good idea to help them
DeleteOKH
DeleteI really like that you would observe the patters of your friend and would try to figure out which addiction they had.
This is a very good plan and sounds like it would be really helpful for someone with an addiction.
Deletei feel the same way OKH
DeleteThat would make me want to quit.
DeleteThat's a great idea. Nice to see that you don't give up on them.
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteNot the best way but could work
Deleteit sounds like a good idea but it will come down to what he wants to do. good luck
DeleteExplain 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.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of using scare tactics because I feel like them might do the trick
DeleteYes, yes it does.
Deletesetting examples always helps. cool.
DeleteI like how you would really show the effect of the drug and its damage to show the person how dangerous an addiction can be...
DeleteI agree with what everyone else is saying
DeleteI would run over all the health risks and issues with my friend. Then go over to some bigger websites on drug addiction and help.
DeleteTo 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.
ReplyDeletei agree buddy. great ideas
Deletewe are on the same page SRS

ReplyDeleteto help my friend i would let him know the consequences and possible show him these four websites, have him look at some of these videos and also look at the brain thing. i would try to be a good comforting friend as well.

ReplyDeleteTo 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.
ReplyDeleteTaking the friend to a rehab center is a good idea and to support them
Deletei agree
DeleteTo help my friend i would let him know how this addiction could hurt him in the long run. i would also share the websites with him about how he got addicted, what is going on with his brain, why he is always craving, and try to help him develop a tolerance.
ReplyDeleteSharing the website is a good idea and to let them know how their brain is reacting to the addiction.
Deleteyou frustrate me
DeleteThis is a good plan for helping someone.

i like this
Deletei like you
DeleteTo 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.
ReplyDeletei agree
DeleteTo 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.
ReplyDeleteAlso agree with letting them know that there IS a way to get over their addiction.. no matter what it is, it's possible!
Deleteto help my friend i would let him know that the addiction could be bad for his health.i would tell him how it effects the brain.if he does quit i could help him from relapesing
ReplyDeleteto help my friend i would talk to them about what they r addicted to, and why or how they started using the drug in the first place. then i would show them the videos we have just looked at to show them how badly addiction can permanently effect the brain. then i would recommend a doctor for them to visit so they can get help.
ReplyDeleteGood job
DeleteTo help my friend i first would confront them about what they are addicted to and why they are addicted to it. Also i would show them videos and go with them go to counseling and be by there side through it all. also let them know im here for them no matter what happens
ReplyDeleteYeah rly being there for the person is a key way to get them back to normal.. Moral support is a lot in getting rid of addictions
DeleteTO 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.
ReplyDeleteTo 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
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletei agree cuz its not that easy to quit on your own
DeleteAB
ReplyDeletei would talk to my friend about their addiction and what is upsetting them or making them abuse drugs or alcohol. i would panic if something serious were to happen to them.
I agree
