Tough love

Hi. New member here seeking some advice on tough love. Recovering addict myself. 5 years sober.

Now a sibling of mine in trouble and won't seek help. My question is do you believe "tough love" is a good method to try to get someone to focus attention on their issue. I know that I only "awoke" when my wife did so. She was brutal, but it worked...and I love her for it.

Thank you for your thoughts.
