Meth Meth and a best friend

[RyGly76]

This is gonna be fucked up, but how do you either get your best friend off dope or walk away from them. I've been a speed freak for... Well it's a long time!
I'm ready to quit, new job and want to make an honest run at life. My best friend/ex is a addict as well, but I challenge you to find any woman more generous, kind, forgiving and honest. In the fiend world it's rare! We've been hard at it for 2 years, but her good friend/dealer (who she's only known for 4 months) is generous as well. I mean fuck how do you walk away from that! I don't envy her situation.
I'm ready to walk through the doorway to sobriety, and I insist she come with me. I realize it's wrong for me to expect that from her, I just don't know what to do walk away from her, keep using I don't know my it's just really fucking confusing right now so I guess what I'm asking is not what the fuck I should do but how to do it! I don't want to leave her behind. anyways it's just rambling on now so just venting a little and hope everybody out there is healthy and upright!!!!

if you want to sober up and she doesn't, there is little you can do about that.
what you *can* do is focus on your own goal, with distance if necessary (though not in an angry way).
maybe she will come around when she sees your progress. maybe not.
you have to be your own priority, and once you are stable you can think about her

Words of wisdom. Go on the journey by yourself first.

Completely unrelated: I like the new profile pic, lecroute!

Ex and best friend is a bad mix, you don't see her as only a friend, you simply can't.
If she refuses to quit her addiction is her choice but you should try and quit your addiction to her: she is no longer your girl, but her problems still affect you much more than other friends' problems would, and that's not good.
It's not me not understanding the nature of your relationship, it's just reality being reality
