A large percentage of people who happen to be dependent upon substances like drugs or alcohol won’t admit that they have problems. Hence, for them, the first step would be to recognize that the problem does exist and that they would need to get themselves treated for their addiction.

The treatment must first start with detoxification, which is a process designed to bring their body back to its healthy, natural state, and to bring back to normal their brain functioning. Once that is through, the patient will then have to undergo inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation. This includes counseling, therapy, and medication. Afterwards, the person will have to exercise his determination so as not to relapse.

First, a person has to admit and take ownership of their problem. They can’t say they drink or do drugs because of anyone else or any thing.

Next, they have to have faith that something stronger than their ego or self can help them overcome the problem.

Then they have to find help, from treatment, or from faith, or from some higher power. They have to keep trying, even when all seems hopeless.

You or whoever it is might do well to consult a doctor, a psychologist, and a person of strong faith.

Don’t forget to pray.

I can only speak from experience and what worked for me. I do not believe in the whole “intervention technique” or “tough love, ” I think the person in trouble needs to have an epiphany and realize that their life is not going in a satisfactory direction and that they are the only ones who can change it.
For me, I needed a change of location. I dumped all my (drug) friends and said, “don’t call me, I’ll call you.” I moved far enough away where I didn’t have any connections, and I made a conscious decision to change my life. And I went to a new city where I was absolutely alone, because I wanted no reputation to follow me.
Please understand, I am not saying that I stopped drinking the day that I moved, but I made a conscious decision to hang out with a totally different crowd then I had ever hung out with before.
I met my wife (of 7 years and 2 kids, now) that week. The move was a HUGE breath of fresh air for me. It totally allowed me to start an entire new life.
After several years, I made an attempt to contact a few of my old (using) friends who I had left behind and discovered that many of them either couldn’t or didn’t want to remember me or accept me for turning my life around. I discovered that they were never my friend at all.
The only other thing I could suggest. Write everything down. Every emotion, every weird experience, etc… as you take your journey. And make these notes your auto-biography. This will be your new hobby and new obsession. Who knows, you might get a book deal out of the whole thing.
Good luck
