Is anyone else dealing with a friend or family member with a cocaine addiction?

24 Jul

I have (or had) a friend who recently has been using cocaine. I’ve definitely seen a change in his personality. He is ADD, a bit narcissistic and constantly craves to be the center of attention. Now those traits have gotten a lot worse to the point where I can’t stand hanging out with him anymore. I miss my friend the way he used to be… can anyone relate to this?

Would you go to the funeral? My in-laws have a friend whose daughter has been a heroin addict for the last 15?

23 May

years. Her 19 year old son just OD’d yesterday. I know them from a few holiday events over the years and really thought the kid had potential. The fact that we suspect his mom introduced him to heroin is what is really making this hard. I should go for him, but I really blame his mother and don’t know what I’ll do if I see the scumbag.
Would you go?

 

My friend is selfhaming:S?

21 May

I’ve recently found out that my best friend is selfharming. She knows she shouldn’t do it but it’s an addiction she just can’t stop. She saw one of the teacher counsellors about it and they forgot about it.
She’s suffered from anorexia before and attempted suicide once. The other day, I was very scared she was going to try again.
Please, what should I do? :S I don’t want to lose her…x

How can I help my pregnant drug abusing friend and her boyfriend?

16 May

I have been friends with her since 5th grade. We ended up going to the same high school as well. In 9th grade she started hanging out with the wrong crowd. Freshman yr her boyfriend got her into drugs, and alcohol. By her sophmore yr she moved in with her grandmother who wanted to help her with her drug addiction. She ended up getting pregnant her junior yr and did very well and got medical help and everything and did not smoke once while pregnant or drink.
Well my friend is now 21 and is RN, a mother of 3, and has done very well for herself. her boyfriend was somewhat abusive and reglective towards her but supposedly got some counseling and is doing better. Well just the other day her older sister called to talk with me and told me that her sister may be anorexic. She told me that she’s back doing drugs, drinking, is out majority of the night, left her kids alone one day, slept in and missed work and was caught drinking and driving and may lose her nursing license.How can I help her

how do i confront a friend?

15 May

hi.
i have this guy friend who i’m quite close with.
on the surface he seems like a mellow and somewhat boring guy, but recently i found out he has an addiction to masturbation and pornography.
i kind of want to confront him about the issue, but i think i might have a conflict since i am a girl.
he thinks the only people who know are the school counsellor and a guy friend of his who lives far away and whom he talks about his issues with.
how would i go about this?
i need as much help as i can get.
thank you!

Where can I find free online therapy or a friend?

14 May

I am having a lot of issue and on the verge of a nervous breakdown but I have no support. I need someone I can talk to either free online therapy or a good friend. I just need something. I can not go to the hospital because there is no one to care for my daughter and they wont help anyways because I am not suicidal. I’m just alone…very alone

What do I do if my friend is addicted to pain killers?

06 May

My best friend of 3 years had knee surgery after a wrestling injury and has been addicted to painkillers ever since. He is getting so desperate that he’s taking up to 9 benadryls at a time and gets high off of them almost everyday. If he doesn’t get them then mood swings start and he gets aggressive. I want to help him but don’t really know where to start. Any suggestions?

My friend began dating a heroin addict. What is my role as a friend?

02 May

I want to be supportive. He really likes this girl But she’s an addict and seems very fragile/unsteady, while he is very ‘with-it’. Having just entered grad school, he has a bright future ahead of him, but I feel like he’s getting bogged down by this person. I don’t want to rain on his parade because he really loves how the relationship has grown (6 weeks into it) and likes having a girlfriend. But from the sounds of it– he has been the rock in the relationship and she, the addict, has been an energy-sapper…How do I remain supportive even if I don’t like the sounds of her? He deserves a woman who’s as well balanced and intelligent as he is.

 

Whats goin to be the life path of my friend the heroin addict?

28 Apr

Well… she’s 22 years of age right now… she’s been doin heroin since she was 14 with no intention to stop ( that i know of) . She’s been hospitalized in the past ( claims she died once and had an out of body experience) but thats when she said she use to abuse it and just do ti for the high. Now she says she can’t stop because if she does she’ll get sick. I’ve noticed she doesn’t do it just cuz she wants to get high she’ll do it cuz she’s in so much pain. I also notice its only when she runs out of methodone she does it. She says she only duz it when she doesnt have any methodone. She claims she never does over 2 “bags”. She claims with her marital problems ( yes shes married with 2 kids) and family issues its the only thing that makes her feel “good”. Our friend said She once shot up ( she does it in her arm) and said ” man this feels so good i’ln never stop doing this” But she acts like around me that she has to do it because her body is so use to it now and she has no money to get better ( her husband doesnt even know). So i always wonder do you think this will be her demise? If so do you think soon or later? Itscares me. No matter what u say the girls not gonna stop. She’s been on it for almost 10 years now! Where do u thinks she’s goin based on these stories? What is this going on in this heroin addict’s mind? also… her mom and older sister are also addicts…ugh. Its nasty.
