What to say to your friend who has a loved one experiencing a relapse


These scripts should serve as a guide for tough, trying, and tremendous life moments.

We’re here to support you in supporting your people. We’re proud of you. And we’ve got you.

Here’s what to say when you don’t know what to say.


How difficult to see a loved one going through such a hard time. It's so scary that relapsing is a part of the recovery process. I imagine you're feeling really helpless right now, so know that I'm holding you close. I love you and I'm here to listen to any worries anytime. I'll check in soon and send you some Muppet GIFs.


Text these scripts, email them, leave them as a voicemail, or as the basis of a phone call or conversation in person. These scripts can be used over and over and across all platforms. We hope they help. We want to support you so that you can support your people.
