He's 5'4, 240 lbs and referred to himself as "a little chubby." Sorry, but that's not a little chubby, that is obese and in itself a life threatening condition. So not only is he stabbing himself in the arm with a hypodermic needle while blindfolded, he's in denial about his weight issue.
You're damn right I bitch slapped him about it - he came here asking for help and, as usual, most members respond with a smile and a hug. I chose to opt out of the group hug and help him my way because I don't believe cuddles are going to motivate him.
If you discovered your best friend had gained 100 lbs and was shooting dope AND was so poorly educated about needles they were basically on the verge of suicide, would you just pat them on the head and say "oh, sweetie, you're doing that all wrong, let me show you the right way to inject yourself"?
I sure hope not.
