Quit enabling him. Don't give him any money, don't lend him your car. He needs to hit a bottom on his own and hopefully he will, and seek recovery. You can learn about the disease of addiction by going to Al-anon or Nar-anon, and let him know that if he ever wants help, Narcotics Anonymous is always available. Get some Literature from NA and give it to him, then let him go. All you can do is pray for him

The best thing you can do for him is to stop enabling him. You're killing him as sure as God made little green apples. Helping him by letting him use your car and giving him access to money is doing him in. He knows what the quit process is and chooses to keep doing the stuff. You need to make him responsible for his actions. Here's a web page that might help: http://rational.org/index.html

They in all probability get them for their buddies and do them at the same time. Drug addicts usually do drugs in communities, and that they sometimes have a drug squadron of like 4-12 human beings. 2 of them are often drug sellers. relies upon on the drug they like although.

There is a term stating "Let go with love". Tell him that until he cleans up his act you don't want anything to do with him. He stole from you, lied to you. If he keeps on doing what he is doing, it will not end. You must think of yourself
now. There is nothing you can do to get him to stop, it must be his choice. When he hits a bottom he can change.

Well hun... the first step tp recovery is acceptance... He needs to accept he has a problem... and he needs to want the help... I understand you are a concerned friend.. and one who cares deeply.. But,your friend has to want to recover as much as you do..
You can speak to him and if he wants help... take him to a local emergency room.. he is a danger to himself... they will then send in a social worker.... who will work with him and get him in some sort of treatment and detox center...
There is always hope... always a way... If your friend wants the help... then do it.. The social workers are familiar with these circumstances, lack of insurance and will direct u... and usually you are transported directly from hospital..
I wish you both luck

First of all, what gave him the right to be mad at you??? You are already doing him a load of favors and he still has the guts to get mad at you when you scold him?! He sold you car stereo and stole your 100 bucks... You have every right to get mad at him. To tell you honestly, I also have the same friend. When we were in highschool, we were already doing drugs... weed and crystal meth. I actually consider him as my good friend and brother, because one time, we were both so stoned from drugs and drank too much beer, we shoplifted CD of Slayer from this record bar, just for kicks and we were trippin' that time. Because I was too stoned, I got caught and some of my friends ran away. He was the only one who came back to get me and help me out of trouble. Starting from that day, I always gave him favors. We became buddies until college. We started a band together and sometimes we sold band equipments for drugs. I sobered up when my girlfriend got pregnant and my first son was born. He continued to be a junkie and he even borrowed and sold my Gibson Les Paul guitar for drugs. I gave him another chance because he promised to pay back. He never did. And he continued to borrow money from me. He even went to live in my house and ask me for money because all of his allowances are gone because he bought all of it for drugs. In total, he owes me bigtime. Me and some of my buddies, forced him to go to rehab, but we have to beat him up to make him go. He is now a changed man and has a stable job at some IT firm. But he never got mad at us when we scold him. But your friend is worst. Kick his butt and make him go to rehab. Beat him up if you will, that will teach him. And he is not really your friend if he acts that way. Well at least my buddy, pays me back little by little what he owes me.

I think he is doing fine ... everything will turn out right soon ... in a couple of months he will snap out of it and be as right as rain!
After all, I once really liked Twix Bars, and before I knew it I had eaten too many, and I just said no (more)!
