Been there, done that. My advise? Don’t. But I admire you for caring and taking this bold step. It is a big challenge.

Get your sister into a detox centre. There are professional help available to those who ask. You are asking. So, it is available. It’s free.

Because you are not a pro at this, you will actually harm your sis than helping her.
