there are really good chances of your friend staying clean with the right treatment and help. I think this is the wrong place because you have stupid people saying there is no chance, but then really nice people like there have been being supportive which is exactly what ure friend needs at this time, if people dont believe him/her why should he believe in himself? People seem to forget that everyone make mistakes in life and is a learning process. Im currently doing a degree in mental health and there are so many things to help your friend, sadly addicts only seem to realise when they hit rock bottom and lose everything, but that could be a good thing as they learn to pick themselves up again, please dont pay anyattention to people being narrow minded its because they dont understand addiction or are ignorant, he has a good friend by the sounds of it and that what they need, SUPPORT so the best thing is to go to the GP and see if they can get involved in some sort of therapy or interest. One of my favourites is art therapy and it creates so much self awareness and a new focus on life ! something different and rewarding with lots of love and support from loved ones like friends and family i hope ive been some help and good luck to him everyone deserves a second chance !

That would be a stupid thing to do.  Here is a hint don't do drugs, you are going to screw up your life.  Do you want to be that kind of guy living on the street waiting for their next fix?

This is a dilemma between psychology and righteousness.\n\nYour friend is consuming drugs, be it esctasy, morphine etc... Your general knowledge tells you that drugs harm your health, esp. hypertension, drowsiness and so on. However you think that your friend will be terribly angry with you. What do you do?\n\nWhen you report to your friend's mom, do you know that you are actually caring for him? You do not want him to continue consuming drugs. You do not want him to harm his life and health. So when you are reporting to his mom, he may temporarily get angry with you. But when he realises that he had been harming himself, he will be very grateful to you.\n\nAll the best!

You need to tell her again how you feel about doing drugs. And if she still doesn't listen then you need to get rid of her. Tell her that if she decides to stop this stuff and get help then maybe you two could get back together. She's only going to bring you down if you continue to be w/ her. Possibly give her an ultimatum. . .tell her that if she doesn't get help then you two can't be together at all not even as friends. You don't need to be around this sort of thing, because your making wise decisions by staying away from that mess. Give her some facts about drug and alcohol abuse also when you have this talk, maybe if she here's the facts from someone who cares she'll want to change. Good luck buddy I hope things work out well for you.

You can go to someone professional and ask him how to approach her. It is very dangerous that he drags her into doing drugs...someone who has influence over her has to be told.

If you consider yourself a true friend to them, you definitely need to discuss it.  Depending on what the drug of their choice is, you might want to be armed with some facts about the dangers and consequences of that drug.  Stress that you care about them and don't want to see them continuing down the wrong path!!

your her friend and this is going to be tough but don't try to help her pass her drug tests by giving your sample of pee  Drug addicts are very manipulative people.Set some guide lines sit her down and tell her you will not lie for her and tell her not to treat you like a idiot by lying to you. Tell her you are only too happy to support her to help kick the habit. As for the baby i really feel sorry for the child especially when there are so many people who are childless out there and would love a child. Maybe it would be better to have the child placed in care until she gets her act together and cleans up. I know this sounds like tough love but you have to be for her sake

Call the police ASAP, my good friend spent every penny he had on the drug, he spent about $250 a week and lost his job and most all of his contacts.  I finally called the cops on him and he thanks me to this day for saving his life.  If I would of waited any longer, I don't know if he would of been around.  Know that you can call the police from a pay phone and not give them your name.  Please do your mother a favor and get her into treatment before it's too late.  This is a very serious thing, and I know you love her, please do the right thing and get her help.

First of all, don't tell him right off the bat to quit. Usually people on drugs feel threatened by others if they know their intentions are to get them off their "habits". \n\nJust show him little by little the other stuff he could be doing, or try to talk to him about your concerns. Usually people use drugs to hide their emotions, or simply try to get the thrill of taking a risk and feeling a great high. \n\nHonestly, running brings out the same high that most drugs bring out. It's just when you use drugs your wasting money because you're paying someone to release a stimulant in your brain that you could do on your own. \n\nIt's like paying for a free car, and you have had the keys in your hands the whole time.\n\nDon't take full responsibility to try to make him quit. In most cases, people who try to help a person free themselves from an addiction usually become enablers. It has to be his choice, not yours. It's his life, and he can do whatever he wants, but if you care enough to ask this question on line, try guiding him in the right direction. Good Luck!

the first thing you need to do is pray, and ask God to guide you and give you direction on a sound thing to do. your second good thing was asking for help from your yahoo family. Talk to your mate and remind him in order to stay clean you must stay away from people, places, and things that relate to your old drug habits. Next you should try and remind him that these were the same friend that were with him in his addiction and three years later they are still there. Have him to revisit his past mentally, than look at his present too see how far God has brought him. Lastly, stay supportive he may be at a vulnerable point in his life, try to help keep him focused and away from the bad influences. Sometimes we do not see out of the corners of our eyes that something may be approaching, that is why you walk by his side. keep your head up and your eyes open.

I think it might be a good idea to first find out if she is drinking or using drugs. Usually the first sign of drug addiction is a change in behavior. If you have ruled that out then it might be a good idea to get her into counceling the only way to know for sure is to tak to her. \n\nShe might get so defensive because she feels threatened or confronted. The best thing to do is just tell her you are really concerned for her let her know that you love her no matter what is going on and that you think she might need help. It is important not to make her feel like you feel sorry for her or that you are mad at her because chances are she will close up. If your aproach is one of concern she will probably be more likely to open up.

Support them for staying clean if they are. Ask them about their experience because they probably have a lot they want to share. Offer your friendship if you are a non user. Be positive and cheerful and let them know how much you care about them and how proud you are of what they are doing. Plan fun things to do with them that are good clean fun, or become their gym buddy. Whatever you do, dont put them down or treat them with scorn because they were in rehab. they made a very positive change in their life and its good for them.
