<human>:  My friend is showing signs of addiction, what can I do to support them?
<bot>: One thing that you can do to support your friend is to be there for them, offering emotional support and understanding. You could also research and educate yourself on the signs and symptoms of addiction so that you can better understand what your friend is going through. If possible, offer practical and financial assistance to help them access resources for recovery. Additionally, if you feel comfortable doing so, you could encourage them to seek professional help from a counselor or therapist who specializes in addiction treatment and recovery.
