I am glad that your friend has you.You need to tell her that if she continues to use cocaine you will not be able to remain friends because as her friend you cannot sit back and watch her slowly kill herself.Tell her that you will be there to help her but she has to want to stop using and change.If she does'nt want to stop she won't you can't do it for her.The best thing you can do is look in your area and find what kind of support is offered and then stick with her.You are not helping her by telling her what she wants to hear but what you are doing is enabling her to be a drug addict.I hope you are able to get her the help she need's and you can have a great friendship otherwise you will be a sad friend at her funeral and i am sorry i don't mean to sound harsh that is just the facts.I speak from experience i have lost friends to drug addictions..Good luck to you

Tell her she is in big trouble, there is no easy way out, then say again there is no easy way out, and tell her that she has to want to quit then she has to really desire to accept herself for who she is at all times of her life high low and in between. Tell her to take a chill pill in thinking she has to have life so exciting and fantastic, maybe its nice to have it that way but only naturally. Unless she has endless amounts of money she's really only digging the hole deeper, because the time and money spent is time and money burnt for her future. What is she going to have to live for in twenty years ask her that? Its dancing with the devil, and people who start it are usually a bit greedy to begin with to know its bad and still do it. Tell her she made a very bad decision and its whether she wants control or the cocaine gets the control of her life. Life is ok without it, it'll just take her a good year to figure that out. Tell her she needs to do it and regain her life back. Focus on something like saving money and goals she may have. Tell her you care be her friend when everyone else runs away because she's going through withdrawls you'll be around, Tell her that. Plan it out for her sit down with her and tell her to start seriously thinking of quitting for herself and nobody else.

Be there to support her if she needs help. What does she need answers for? Try your best to be a great friend and help her as much as you can. Maybe even help her get over her addiction and ask her if she would like to go to rehab and change her life around.

sure SHE IS ADDICTED!!! human beings say "no im not addicted, i do only it for the heck of it - i will supply up on each occasion i elect" yet it incredibly is in no way the case. if she would be ready to basically circulate 2 days at maximum without it, she is addicted. get her on my own, and communicate over along with her (whilst she isn't excessive, if attainable) and have a coronary heart to coronary heart convo. tell her which you adore her and are honestly worried for her. tell her that she desires to verify in to a rehab middle, and which you would be along with her each step of how. what she is doing can not basically bring about dying, it is totally illigal. tell her that if she doesnt get some help, then you definately will tell the police of her drug use, regardless of in case you incredibly dont elect to (only be certain you hold on with with the aid of with the final one if she doesnt get help)

stop giving her the ok to do it,your empowering her behavior which if not now,can eventually lead to moral and physical degradation,tell her the party's over and its time to grow up,tell her youll support her but she needs to go to C/A cocaine anonymous,or a rehab

you cant continually give her sympathy for what she is doing.
she knows its wrong as do you, she just wants you to say "oh its ok" so she dont feel so bad about using
i would get her down the docs and explain to her doc about her habit etc, i think tough love needs to come in for things like this, and of course she has to want to give up too.
