Drug addict/eating disordered friend?

Question by julietlovesthebeat: Drug addict/eating disordered friend?
I’ve known this girl for a few years and we haven’t talked much in the past few years because of a very complicated sitution but she does every type of drug except meth and has been in and out of rehab two times for an eating disorder and ate white oleanders to get out one of the seven times

she just doesn’t have a reason to live and i wish i could give her one but life pretty much sucks especially for her, she had it pretty rough growing up, no longer has a college fund because of rehab and has failed ninth grade a few times because of absences anyway

but im talking to her and i suppose just giving her a semi-good influence helps but i would like some imput in what advice i could give her in getting clean, obviously normal programs don’t help, shes been on methadone and lithium and just uses them as a supplement to her habits
what can i say to help her? why shouldn’t she stay on them honestly? when you think about it. she doesn’t care if she dies and can’t handle pain

You are very much describing a person I know, a drug addict girl. Did constantly pretty much every single drug except heroin n meth. Cocaine + pills was daily used, weighed 85 pounds… in and out of rehab and mental institututions her whole life… She died 3 weeks ago of an overdose. She took oxycotton and cocaine (in huge amounts btw, she would pretty much snort 1 gram just in one line), and this time she died.
I believe that sometimes you just can’t change people like that.
