If so, continuing loving, caring for them, having compassion and empathy for them, trying to understand what they are going through, and taking care of them to the best of your ability is the best you can do for them. But you'll never be able to keep up that chivalry unless you spend equal time caring for yourself. Do yourself a favor and get hold of your local Al-Anon, now.

Ask a friend or family member to help if possible. You may want to seek professional help for the one going through withdrawal. And you can always seek some help for yourself. Remember you are going through a very difficult time as well. Good Luck to you! Try not to do it alone. Ask a friend or family member to help if possible.

What I mean is: keep suggesting alternative methods of self expression. A hobby sounds maybe "corny" but this person's main interest needs to be constanly shifted and refocused. Be prepared for relapses. It happens. It's a tough thing to do. A membership(even short term) to a gym would ease some of their nevous tension.
