Friend is losing them self. Don’t know what to do?

My one friend and I haven’t talked in like 2 years. I understand that’s a long time, but they cut me off because they were scared of us being a reality. We both loved each other, but ever since our no contact, they’ve started hanging out with the wrong people. Since then, they’ve gained weight, have changed their accent to sound like their friends, became an alcoholic, etc. they’re doing it to feel love and accepted. I want to clarify that I understand I CANNOT force them to change, but is there anything I can do to help them? They won’t talk to me because they’re in denial and under poor influence, but they’ll have their friends call me and threaten to fight or whatever.

Any advice on to help someone going down a bad path would be appreciated.
