I can understand the judges feeling. I’m definitely prone to feeling it lol. But one thing to remember is people are born rebels. If you push back too hard on something they’re likely to do it out of spite. Especially if they are still in the space of using harder things to cope. She has to help herself, she has to get into her own therapy and find her own healthier coping mechanisms. Judge all ya want, just do it from afar or you risk pushing her into it more. Especially if you are particularly passionate/triggered when confronting it.

You won't upset anyone on here by voicing your concerns. People that suffer from PTSD may use drugs or alcohol or may completely abstain from it. It sounds like your more concerned with your friend. If you make friends with someone who has these issues then you also take on that baggage. It's up to you whether you can deal with that. All the best to you S3.?
