Thread: I Need Help.

So since I was twelve I've always been around people of all sorts as I'm an extrovert 100%. People with and without good hearts and minds, people who can and can't make good decisions for themselves. I've tried to get friends of mine out of terrible situations they've put themselves in and I've failed many of the times. Some of my friends have died as a result. This is what drugs do, I've seen this and there's no denying it. If people want to do drugs that is their decision, but this time it's my best friend. We grew up together. when his parents kicked him out he lived with me. I've saved his life more than once and he's helped me when I needed it. Now he's on drugs all the time. I'm not talking about blazing weed or drinking, I'm talking about real drugs. I think he's in trouble, I don't know what to do but I'm not going to just let the chips fall where they may, that's what I do with people, he ain't people though, he's my people - we're kin.

If anybody has any suggestions I could use them. Please. He's early in this path and I want to get him out before it gets worse, I've seen it far too many times and feel this time we can win. Hope is not at all lost.

You have to confront the person who has the problem and make them realize they have a problem. If they don't admit it, then they cannot help themselves. They need to realize and want to get better. Maybe go to his parents about it. I have no idea. Sorry bro.

Different levels. Give me symptoms or patterns. And in all honesty, the guy has to want to change. Hopefully he isnt addicted. If its meth, than Whew, If its Coke its Oh no, If its Heroin, SOB. He might be gone forever.

If you are really concerned, go to AA tell them the deal, they will refer, and or take in you guys as brothers etc...

He's been estranged from his parents for years. I think he was 18 the last time they even talked.
