Hi,
Me again! I know I post quite sporadically on this board but thought I would bring to light an issue which probably quite a few of you out there are familiar with.
First of all my background (some may remember). I had a bit of a control problem at the beginning of last year and the main part of 2002 where I did pills every wknd. Mainly because I had some awesome pilling buddies and it was so much fun. I realised that I did it too much ( not saying that every wknd is too much, it depends on the person and how much they are letting their drug use affect their lives and others) Nowadays I just do it about one wknd every 4-6 wks which suits me fine!! The high is greater, i look forward to it more, my finances are better, my concentration towards studying has increased and I have learnt to enjoy other things instead!
Now I have the problem of one of my good friends going down the wrong path. Not only does he do pills every wknd, he does everything else (soft spot for Ice) as well (sometimes during the wk). He recently went on a huge drug binge with a girl (he has now realised with everyone else that she is bad news). However he still has the friends and dealers that he met through her and he is just as bad. He has now got himself a big drug debt with a dealer and is paying him back by pushing drugs for him.
I came home yesterday night and he was had a shit load of drugs that he had to deliver. 1. I don't want to see him do this and i am worried about him. 2. I don't want that quantity of drugs in my home 3. I have new priortities now and I am sick of the way he talks about drugs all the time, its all my flatmate and i hear of!!
He is very messy and paranoid all the time and we can never get any sense out of him. It is only a matter of time before he stuffs up and ends up in huge trouble. He has let his work/career take a backseat. He is continuinally reassuring us that everything is OK, he is fine etc etc. I don't know if he is trying to convince us or himself.
i have laid down the groundrules for drugs in our home and he is smart enough to respect that...but what about the other stuff? Have no idea how to tell him, he is not going to listen. I guess its something he has to sort out for himself..
Anyone have something similar happen to a friend of theirs? Maybe you were the one who abused? What did your friends try to tell you? did you listen?
