Guys, if somebody doesn't want to get helped, it's not going to...but try that like if it's really a big problem and you are close to the person, they will have to come around.
Ever struggled with how to tell someone you care about that their substance use is worrying you? In this heartfelt episode of the Craving Wolves Addiction Podcast, Carel van Heerden tackles this delicate issue head-on. Drawing from his own experiences and listener stories, Carel offers a compassionate guide on approaching such sensitive conversations. He emphasizes the importance of trust and understanding, noting that these talks can be tricky and may not always go as planned.

He also discusses the challenges of denial and how to cope when your concerns aren't well-received. Whether you're looking to support a friend, family member, or even a colleague, this episode is packed with practical advice and emotional support. It's a must-listen for anyone aiming to make a positive impact in the life of someone battling addiction.
