Friend in need...substance abuse+++? |
A friend of mine tonight did some cocaine, drank beer, snorted a suboxone and who knows what else... He had a major buzz and seemed o.k. but I know for a fact that it is tearing up his body like crazy. A little over 24 hours ago he had received a phone call from one of his good friends mother from the hospital letting him know that he overdosed. He has always abused things, but after hearing this it has basically made him worse...... I am not perfect by far, and have made my poor decision making in life, but I am not so great with words and how to put advice into a sentence he will listen to. I don't want him to die on me. He wants to cry because of his friend, of course, who wouldn't....I tried to reassure him that his friend will be o.k. since the hospital has everything necessary to help him recover. Yet still that is not enough. He seems really down and depressed, I want him to cheer up without having to be f***ed up. Stayed up with him tonight and kept him company, advice anyone?! just tell him that he needs to realise there is better things to look forwards to, and that he doesnt need to get high to feel better about himself, theres friends around him (like u) who can already do that...and telll him thats what friends are fo, helping him get through the tough times, and just ensure him that you will be there for him, in the case that he stops, because u are afraid of losing him, jus like he's afraid of losing his friend..... tell him that if he ca stop, chances are that his friend will too.... make plains with him the next day, go somewhere fun, somewhere he enjoys and take his mind of things for a while, at te meantme keeping an eye of him and reasurring him if you notice him do anything wierd. keep reminding him of what person he can become, that he doesnt need the drugs as they are jus screwing up his future..... most of all, just be a friend to him , as its people like you that he needs around him right now, and for a while till he is set straight agan you really cant give advice to someone like that. you can state the facts about how you feel and offer numbers to programs or support groups. then you must step back because you will become his enabler. then you will also be sick and in need of help a friend of yours???then talk to his parent nicely(his parents r still around aren't they)...thats all i can say... |

It's a very difficult profession with not many rewards, depending on how you personally define "rewards".

I never used drugs, didn'... Your question seems to imply by default that people who have developed a problem with substance abuse are somehow less worthy of being helped than those who have not. That's extremely offensiv... I found this site on the internet, i guess it can help you.. ...guess there both the same which have a big impact in one's life.
