Yes it's true we can support others and also encourage them to quit without sounding judgemental or being too pushy include such as talking to them and also listening, at that point they will feel comfortable talking to you, since you have given them attention, you can also pray for them, guide them by following them up, this would help them to take the bold step of deciding to quit which is better.
Best luck in the contest bro your post is unique.
