Oct 31, 2018 at 3:56 comment added jpmc26 I'd recommend emphasizing that for the question of whether they need help, the OP should err on the side of, yes, they do. It'd be far better for them to seek help they maybe didn't strictly need than for them to not get it when they do.
Oct 31, 2018 at 1:43 comment added user6796 Thank you for such a detailed answer. I too knew someone who did similar things as the OP (this was 25 years ago). She knew it was wrong and felt bad. She was unable to change her behaviour though. She was not able to cope with life and shortly after died of a drug overdose. I don't judge her, as I got to know her well and how awful her life was. Doesn't excuse the behaviour, helps to understand the behaviour. Sometimes there's a way out, other times there's not.
