Have you ever lost friends because they got strung out on legal or non legal drugs?

Question by Crazy ape Guerrilla: Have you ever lost friends because they got strung out on legal or non legal drugs?
And do you wish there was a way to help them get off the drugs? I don’t mind it if they smoke a little ot but when they do it alot, or use meth, or are on zoloft or paxil or wellbutrin I feel like their brains are out of touch and its like they’re not real anymore.

Have you ever had some success in getting a friend to slow down or stop using a drug either from the street or from the doctor?

Doctors are getting my friends hooked on downers and anti depressants. they just aren’t the same people like part of their soul is gone and doctor’s speed for ADD seems to get rid of a person’s conscience just like street meth does. Has anyone else lost a friend to legal or illegal drugs and has your friendship ever renewed itself without you going on the same drugs with them?

Yep. Once they succumb to legal or non legal drugs they become satan’s slaves who suck on the devils glassedstick.

Sometimes they disappear for years because they’re bad news to be around, needing to get their fix makes them sticky fingered.

If you join them you can hang with them because only then will you have much in common.

Its easier to be pulled into pits of hell than it is to pull someone else out and to get them you have to go half way there. Its smarter to not go there. You have to play tough love and them leave you out of your life till they find a way to crawl out.

If they don’t that’s it. I’ve tried to save people but the devil beat me.

You gotta staying awy, even if its a blood relative. Pity or charity enables them to continue destroying themselves.

The best way to save a drug addict is to cut off their funds and take them out of all contact with any connections to the drugs they crave. A poor homeless person is better than a dead homeless person, and once they can’t afford a fix they’re on their way to recovery.

“Let them hit bottom” is what they say. Sounds cruel but sometimes its kinder than giving them the resources to continue which will land you in the poor house too.
