There's a simple answer to this, you can't help someone that doesn't want to be helped. However, you can share your concern with them. Let them know it bothers you and obviously as their friend, it worries you as well. I have been there, it's not easy to watch people destroy themselves. Just let them know how you feel, you shouldn't be afraid. If you're truly friends, you can talk about anything without anyone getting upset. Just keep it calm and smooth.

Well how do you feel about people on prescription drugs? When you write drugs are you just meaning street drugs or all drugs? I'm only asking because I was reading on the Internet yesterday that a lot of teens are taking the Vicodin and Oxycontin and it not even prescribed for them. It was noted as being similar to Ritalin.
I know lots of people who do drugs their not necessarily my friends. I think it's nice of you to care and to want to stop a friend from doing drugs. But you gotta know that if that person wants your help or just help period, they have to want to stop themselves. Don't stop caring. Talk to a professional maybe to see if they can offer some suggestions.

Forget it, honey. You can't stop them. All you can do is be there for them, and offer to help if they want to give it up. Then when they say they do, go with them to a 12-step program or whatever they are willing to do to get help.

And don't facilitate the addiction by letting them borrow money, let alone condoning them stealing from you. That's called "enabling," and simply prolongs the misery.

Push them into going to rehap or getting some oustide help. Drugs often control ones thoughts/emotion so if a person gets mad at you for showing concern most of the time its not them talking its the drug! They will thank you in the end

my best friend since 3rd grade is a severe heroin addict so i feel ya. last week she OD'd and litterly died...they were able to bring her back and luckily there was no permenant damage {that we know of}. the next day she was right back to her old ways and 2 days after that she tried killing her self. she's lost everything her child her family her friends {except me} her job her home her vehicle EVERYTHING but she sayes that we might as well accept the fact that she will never get better nor does she want to... so unless they really want help we need to try and break our addiction to them, it's the only way they can truly hit rock bottom before it's too late.
