Hi,

I do not think there is anything you can tell that will make her stop. The desire to quit drugs and change her lifestyle needs to come from inside. Unless she herself wishes to do this, she will not be able to quit regardless of whatever anyone tells her. If possible, talk to her about what she feels about all this and assure her of your support and help if she wishes to quit.

Best wishes.
