A big reason why addicts don't have a support system is because they have alienated the people who loved them before the addiction took hold. It's a chicken or the egg situation. Which came first the addiction or the lack of a support system?
You're a good person for wanting to help this person, but I think that you should consider the reasons why and the possible consequences. You could wind up sacrificing a lot and experiencing a lot of pain. This person needs to be committed to sobriety in order to be successful. Good luck to you and your friend.
