I think my friend has an addiction is there anything i can do to help?

It is indeed difficult if he does not think he has a problem. Best would be to have him see his doctor and ask for help as there are good programs and meds that can help.

You can not help a person who does not want to be helped. Make sure you do not get sucked into the bad habits of your friend. As and when the friend wants help be there for her/him. Wish you good health!
