Quite Concerned

sorry... i just found that at the worst of my times, there was always someone who whold tell me "just do this" or "all youu need to do is...." when all i really wanted to hear was... you know what you have to do, i can't do it for you, but i think you can do it, and we both know it's what needs to be done.

advice from non addicts is the most demeaning thing in the world.....

all i know is that being a junkie was alot harder than not being a junie is. it ws hard, but its worth it.

 

awesome poem

 

Yes, it is. Bear and I had a freind who was addicted to freebase coke. Finally, we had to end the freindship. It really was hard on Bear, but not only was this dude self destructive, he was destructive to everyone around him. I found him in my bedroom one day, looking for pills. Digging through my stuff. Shit. I don't trust people who go through my stuff, intent on stealing. But not all people who have addictions will do this. Most won't, especially to their freinds.

But we gave this coke freak more than 10 years. More like 18. sigh. You can't "save" him. Just be his freind, and don't leave him alone near your medicine cabinet. Just because he is in trouble, now, isn't a reason to severe all contact. He may get better, or he may be able to function anyway. Just no way to know.
