I have a friend that was a LDS addict. He would use weekly and there was nothing we could do to help him. When he was a teenager he would always take a Book of Mormon into the restroom and do Brigham knows what for hours. He went through a temple garment phase where he would buy lots of Mormon underwear and wear it while watching HBO (maybe Big Love or something). What can we do to help LDS addicts?

Uh??? maybe he was just reading his BoM in those times, which is great from him. Is not an addict but he tries his best to choose the right (yeah, CTR) leave him alone, he's fine!

Hes just addicted to the being a God and having many wives thing and the feeling of having godly powers which most mormons will not admit is deep in the back of their minds, that thing called the force they think they have, if your a God in the making, you must also have gidly powers, of course, therefore you are like a superhero, and what do youthink the preisthood is for, thats their magical powers they have, and for women, they are suppose to naturally have them, altho they are suppose to listen to the men (headship), so you see its very seductive to want to be a mormon and be powerful in your own eyes. Truth is, a petrson cannot do it all on their own, oh they think they can, but after a while, depression will set in and this is when he may crash on his mormon high and let go of the mormonism for some time, then you can introduce god;s saving grace, unless you are not saved yourself, then just get him as far away from his mormon bible as possible and burn his garments.

You have got to help him kick. LDS is very addictive and some aren't strong enough to break the cycle. You need to offer him positive encouragement and support until the withdrawel subsides and then administer logic and reason daily.

Hmmm? Lol, yeah it can be addicting. The hardest part is to say goodbye. There's always someone watching you know. Especially when you have to go into that market to pick up FoodPak. lol Those were the college days.

while it may be quite fun and even enlightening in a way, LSD is not physically addictive. i used it many times, but never felt addicted, like i may have with marijuana. it is very intense, and can be a drag after a while, so to me it's only enjoyable occasionally. anyone i know who used acid frequently eventually grew up and stopped.

You can grow up, get a life, and worry about your own problems.

Hire a highly trained professional who specializes in addiction treatment (chiefly acid). He's probably well on his way to becoming permafried if he isn't already.
