I'm asking because today I heard somebody say they would not because it is their mistake & personal choice & what they chose to do..
& I though this was pretty heartless...

If that was my answer I am sorry. I cannot remember I agree with the down arrow person.
My brother does drugs and has gone to help many a time and even at the age of 27 I still get a gun pulled to my head everyday at home... I have to deal with the pain and tourment of his ups and downs with the drugs. I have tried to help him but its hard to help someone who beats the crap out you calls you disgusting names and pulls a gun to you head atleast once a day. I think that my brother is heartless because he has gotten help and he upsets the whole friggin family.

That is extremely heartless.
It takes courage to admit flaws in yourself, especially such a big one. I would be proud of my loved one for admitting to having a problem.
My Dad is an alcoholic, he has never asked for or wanted help. If he asked me for help it would probably be the happiest day of my life.
edit: Tazwant. Why are you in such a dangerous situation. My dad being an aloholic I understand if I helped him - there is every chance that I will get hurt in the process (emotionally hurt) But before you help someone you have to realise that it could happen.
It sounds like your brother doesn't want help

Well, I would think that heartless is an understatement in this situation. Brainless is more my term. Anyone who would refuse to help someone that they loved who had a drug and was asking for help, to me would not even qualify as an aquantence.

I would help someone I cared about.....if they were willing to get help. Let's face it not everyone that has a drug problem wants help.
My ex-husband does drugs and I think it is a problem, but he doesn't seem to think it is a problem at all.
He goes to jail. Gets clean while he is in there, but when he gets out he goes right back to it. He is 33 and he has been doing them for around 12 years. He hid it from me for a long time. When I finally found out I was willing to help him, but when I found out he didn't want help, I had to leave. It wasn't fair for him to expect me and our 2 children to live with a drug addict.

Of course I would! I would give them many chances, too, but there would be a point where enough was enough. Maybe the person who responded that way knew someone who had experience with mulitple relapses.

I think that's heartless, too... if they humble themselves enough to ask for help (drugs are no joke, and it takes support to get away from them), they deserve it. And who can they go to if their own family tells them no? That's disgusting... Tell them I said that too...

Of course. If you are a "loved one" , you have to stick with someone in the good times and the bad times .

I would try to help...and ask them to give me their last bit. Just kidding, on the second part. yes I would definitely help the person.

Of course I would the first time, but if they kept relapsing then I'd have to cut them off.

well, it's pretty hard to help someone unless the really really want it.
and after putting up with my brothers sh!t, I would think twice.
as long as they're not taking advantage of me, I'll help any way I can.
