Help! My friend whats my prescription drugs?


Written on October 29, 2009 – 3:56 pm | by Drug Abuse Help

My friend "Steven" asked me tonight if I had any left over pain killers from when I had surgery to remove tumors last year. I like this guy a lot and I trust him a lot but I also know that he abuses drugs, drinks a lot, smokes and has a lot of issues. I know he won’t hurt me if I don’t give them to him. I don’t know what to do because he is one one my best friends and he is an amazing guy. What do you think I should do?
We are seniors in high school.

I do care for him but I know that he could get into worst stuff.

    Of course you shouldn’t give him anything! You know that, silly! If he’s as bad off as you say he is, then you don’t need to be feeding his addiction. Besides, he can probably get his hands on other things, but he’ll have to pay for them. He won’t like you more for giving them to him, he’d just pretend to, because you’d be like his supplier, in a sense. And one day, whenever he finally gets cleaned up, he’ll remember that you gave him drugs when he was messed up, and he’ll not respect you very much for that. You definitely don’t want that. I urge you to seek help for him, though. Call together an intervention with his family and non-drug-addicted friends, and if need be, go to a counselor and get their advice for "an anonymous friend". (Honestly, it’d be best if you informed the counselor so they could properly seek help for him, and cure his addiction.) He’d be annoyed at you for crashing his little drug-love-party, but when he’s cleaned up, he’d be practically forever in your debt, and very happy to have someone who cared that much for him. Seriously, if you really give a crap about this guy at all, you won’t succumb to his request. Tell him that you don’t have any. And consider informing him that if you did, you still wouldn’t give him any, because you care too much for him to encourage his drug abuse.

    Just say no!

    Tell him you don’t have any more, or, if he knows you do, tell him that you occasionally have some sort of pain flare ups and you take one on occasion, so you want to keep them.

    I had a surgery like five years ago, and I had a bunch leftover. Like every 3 or 4 months or so I would have a really bad period with awful cramps, so I would take one and they worked like a charm. I actually just ran out about 6 months ago, so I’m on the over-the-counter stuff now. I sure do miss ‘em!

    Just tell him you don’t have any more left. Simple as that.

    Tell him no and try to convince him that he needs help before the problem gets worse.

    Might sound a tad cliche, but if you really care about him, you won’t give him any.

    If he doesn’t need them than hes fine without them

    I think you know what the right thing to do it, you obviously care enough to come on here and ask us instead of givin them to him
    so if you feel wrong about giving them to him than don’t
