really need advice. drug addiction.?
Written on November 12, 2009 – 12:57 am | by Drug Abuse Help
Okay, first off, this is not about me. It’s about my best friend. I’ll leave out names. He has been abusing pills for a while, and he always tells me that he’ll stop, and slow down. I try to see the good in him every time, but he fails me. I love him to death, and I don’t want him to continuously make the wrong choices. He takes pills such as: klonopin (prescribed, yet abuses them), percocet, vicodin, oxycontin, xanax, and ecstacy. Whenever I see or speak to him, he’s under the influence of one of those drugs. The past week and a half, it’s been progressively getting worse. He has called me numerous times late at night, and sometimes has no idea what it is he’s saying. His speech is slurred, incoherent, and drifts off which eventually turns to silence, only to return a few seconds later not realizing that we are even on the phone together. I need advice, from somebody who knows what it is they are talking about. Not somebody’s half ass remark, and two-cents which is not what Yahoo! Answers is for.
Also, two of his friends died this past summer/fall. One from carbon monoxide poisoning and the other from a terrible car accident. I would think that these things would scare him, or make him see that he needs to make careful choices and not use pills for things that they aren’t meant for. I’ve confronted him plenty of times but I get the same response, and the same actions later.
I guess actions speak louder than words, and I’m slowly losing hope.
Somebody, please help….

Nov 12, 09 at 5:02 amit sounds to me like your friend needs to grieve over his lost friends,i started robbing my mams valium when i was 15 and then started going to the doctor and getting valium and xanax saying i had all types of symtons which was a lie,i know what you mean when you said he couldnt remember things he had done,i have gone out to the pub at 7 pm and got home at 2 am and wouldnt remember a thing the next day,there are two types of people ,people who use drugs to escape and myself an addict,people who are addicts need to go to rehab and sort out there thinking and behavours which is the main problem with addicts but if he is not an addict he needs to go threw a detox which lasts about 3 weeks with benzos and start facing he problems and prob grieve,all said when someone is dependent on subscription tablets it is near impossible to get them to stop unless they really want to..hit me back if you want more info on addiction

Nov 12, 09 at 12:46 pmStick by them. Theres nothing else you can do. Friends who are there is the end are the true ones. Don’t get angry, just give support and let them know how you feel and how it affects you.
In the end, there’s nothing you can do. This is his life and his choice.
I have had problems with drugs and the best my friend can do is stick by me and tell me how it makes them feel and reassure me they love me etc.
Hope it works out. Don’t lose hope!
