I think you should start induldging her into some healthy activities. Try to tlk to her about it whenever you get a chance. Make her understand that she is addicted to it. Untill she didn't know that she will not quit it.

I agree, we all make bad choices. The last thing we should ever have to deal with is someone else blaming us for their inadequate acts in life. So what is the solution to this problem. Does anyone have a clue.


I feel very sad about those people who blame others for their inadequate acts in life. Every person in this world is responsible for his deeds and not others.

I think we should be there with the person both mentally and physically offcourse. I think mental support is required most by the person in recovery.

I think we can recover fully from addiction but the time take to recover differ according to type of addiction, stage of addiction, and on the person's health. All these factors decide the time taken to recover.

I think every person who have recovered must help and encourage others to recover. I think person who has recovered know the pain and the stress of addiction. This is the reason why you should help and encourage others.
help the addicts!!!

I believe that all those people who have recovered from any type of addiction should help and encourage the addicts to quit addiction and recover. I think they require emotional supprt a lot.
