Can we motivate people to change ?

Motivational Interviewing ( for beginers ), may help the aspiring recovery coach or concerned family and friends. Bear in mind, this is a simply approach to encourage a person to star thinking about change.How can we motivate them to change? How can we encourage them to come up with their own reason to change and accept help for their drinking or drug problem.

Be careful not to de - motivate. 
Don't keep nagging with 100 reasons why they need to stop - health, money, relationships,  losing their job, their home. Don't concentrate on the scare stories, " You're gonna a die ! ". The lough love approach has its place in a culture of love because there are consequences to our actions. Tru and operate in an atmosphere of love and genuine concern ways to encourage motivation to change.
