Hi, I’ve recently finished my Degree, and will be working overseas starting shortly. Prior to that, I will be returning home for a holiday. I’m looking forward to all of this and quite excited.
However, I have recently found out my cousin who has also returned home, with 90% confidence, that he has done so in order to withdrawal from H. He has deferred Uni for this. Now I have also been under various drug usage over the past few years, but have recently been clean for a few months.
My entire family back home just know that I have completed this Degree, and I will be working soon, but nothing about drugs. Now when I go home, what should I say/do if he approaches me or the topic comes up? Should I just tell him that I have no clue about drugs, and let him deal with it all which I know will be hard, and I know he has a high chance of relapse OR
I tell him everything and try help his recovery, as I have been through it. But if I do this, then I risk the fact that ALL my family will know about the other side of me, which I don’t want them to know. It’s a double edge sword!!!
Thanks for any advice, this has been doing my head in.
