This is true, we can offer support and encouragement or even play the hard-ass, but we really don't make much difference until the person in question figures it out for themselves.
Basically I am happy to joke and talk and be friends until the person gets there, I assume if they are here then they obviously have some interest in recovery. I don't consider that being a cheerleader or backslapper and I
will call them out on their BS from time to time, lol.
