PLEASE HELP - a friend of mine is destroying their life on Cocaine
I have a friend who I love and adore that's got a definate drug problem. The person is using coke, possibly cryatal meth, and other pharms WAY TOO MUCH to be considered recretional in any sense of the term. I can understand letting loose and having a good time once in a while but this person was one of the SHARPEST minds I have ever known and recently acted like a complete idiot in public, and I wasn't the only one to notice. - I'm not talking about a late night party either - I'm talking about daytime - like before dinner. The person is destroying their life and it's easy to see how bad it is and that this will destroy the person within a few years if not sooner. It's already destroying their reputation, and reputation is the most valueable thing this person has. I'm not judging the person at all, all i want to do is help. I grew up in an AA family and I know you can't tell someone they have a problem, they have to do that themsleves - but it's pretty obvious there is a BIG problem when it starts to effect their work and when MANY people are talking about it, I know it's bad.
I want to help any way I can and I'd like some sugestions as to what I or any of this person's other friends can do- and I mean their TRUE friends - as this person has a LOT of true friends that care about this person - and not the friends that are enabling this problem and playing on the ego without really giving a shit what they are doing to the person.
I want this person to know I'm STILL their friend even though they are avoiding me like the plague now, and a big part of that I think is embarisment which shouldn't be a concern as I want the person to know I understand (probally a LOT more than they know or is willing to believe) and completly forgive them for everything and just want to be a friend. If there's anything I can do I'm willing to do it, but I know they have to ask and want help before I can do anything.
Understanding that- is there ANYTHING else I can do to help?
please........
