Teenage friend with drug addiction?
so i have this friend and we have been together since babies and we have been through everything, so like 5 months ago she saw online that sniffing sharpies will get you high, so me and her tried it and for like 5 mins we both felt really dizzy and the room was spinning but then we got really bad headaches so i decided to not do it again, but she likes it and she moved on to other inhalants and then she stole some of her mom's pain meds to get high, she also doesn't sleep much so she takes a lot of caffeine, is this ok or should i help her??, she doesn't have access to weed or anything else cause she is still in high school.this is a re post cause i didn't get enough answers and i had some additional info she was bullied since the beginning of her school career and suffered severe depression when she was younger but it was treated, she has since been going to see a child psychologist, but she has only told me this and she might feel uncomfortable if i asked any of my mates to help with this problem, she is now thinking of taking the pain meds again, in her room she has a schedule so her mom can never discover she is missing pills please help

How do I help my boyfriend get rid of a drug addiction?
He's addicted to legal cocaine and it has very bad effects on him. He wants to quit and he's been off them for 2 weeks now, or at least that's what he tells me. What should I do to make it easier for him?How exactly should I be there for him?He has a tendency towards violence and rejects any help advice whatsoever from anyone...So....what do you think I should do, how can I help?Thank youPrettyBoy, he refuses to go to a drug centerrehab center, sorry....I tried that but he refusedAgain, I tried with the rehab center, it didn't work. I also tried telling his parents about it. A long time ago, he begged me to talk to his parents, if he got really addicted and if it got worse and worse. Which it did, so I talked to them about it and he swears he's been off for 2 weeks. He still has violent tendencies though. Another complication is that he's a cop. From my point of view, this relationship is over, I feel like I deserve much better. But I do love him and I feel it's my duty to help him quit in a way or another.

Am I in deep denial over my husband's drug addiction?
My 50 year old husband is a drug addict. He has battled addiction throughout our marriage of 12 years. It started out with pain pills and progressed to crack cocaine. He was clean for 3 years and relapsed last year. Relapse started with cocaine but now I think it is more pain pills. I am the only one working and we don't have the money for cocaine. He has pawned and traded just about everything we have. Has borrowed money from a former boss and when he asks him to work it is to " work off" what he owes. He swears that he has done nothing since 1.5.2010 but there are days when I come home from work and I suspect he has done something. Of course, he denies it when confronted. He is unemployed and what I make is barely keeping our head above water. Our home is being foreclosed on goes up for sale 3.18.2010. When confronted about getting a job he makes a joke about it and says " when I know that I can pass a drug test" . Am I in some serious denial or am I not giving him a chance to prove himself. He made a comment about if roles were reversed, he would stand beside of me. I have stood beside of him for many years through this addiction. I can't stand anymore. I have thought of divorce but I know that would probably send him over the edge. What do you think?

Hello Someone very close to me, who is bipolar with other mental disabilities, etc... is addicted mentally, not physically to marijuana, hes generally ok if he has it, but once or twice a year he flips out & breaks something huge & important, SHITS IN THE LIVINGROOM theres no toilet in there , attacks the household pets, burns most of his most loved stuff, says hes going to shoot himself & that he hates everyone, & this time around smashed up the living room & took an axe to the new grill for no reason other than be a jackass & because he doesnt have any for a few days.he has a caseworker for his mental problems which were brought on by the stress of being home ridden due to a serious back injury sustained on the job & his inability to provide income he has done something like this several times & this is his second or third time in a mental facility for psyche evaluation but he called & said he will be out & for everyone to be ready.HOW can you help someone like this that cant help himself? simple incarceration for 4 6 weeks in a drug free environment would fix this & hes been saying for a long time that he wants to quit, but then never follows through.P.S.

Why is drug addiction so bad?


Is it possible to reduce a mild drug addiction instead of stopping all at once ?
When I get stressed the withdrawals kick in and it becomes difficult. If I have a really bad day, will a little bit of meth in the evening before bed while Im trying to quit be ok ? Its crystal meth. I was clean for 4 days and yesterday I got in a terrible screaming fight with a friend who is a hardcore addict, first thing in the morning. The stress triggered terrible withdrawals that lasted the whole day and I did some last night to have a break from it. I was fine the first 3 days, and Im fine now without it. Can I do that ? The addiction is very mild because I developed it by accident when I was bored a month ago. The physical problems are always only triggered by anything psychologically painful. Thankyou.

Dealing with a family member with a drug addiction.. help!!?
OK my sister has been addicted to Ambien for about 4 years now. She has through detox and rehab twice and hasnt gotten better. She is still very much addicted and supoosed to be going into another detox rehab. She has been supposed to go nor for 2 weeks but everyday comes up with new excuse or chickens out. I have been supportive or encouraging but now its getting hard for me to be that way cause it hard for me to believe that she is actually going to go. She gets mad when I try to give her " tough love" . She gets mad that my parents and I never went to some type of counseling to learn about her problem. She says that since I have never been addicted I dont know what its like. I understand that, but it doesnt take a rocket scientist to know that its going to be pure hell to go through detox and rehab and stay clean. I just dont know what to do or say to her anymore. Has anyone been in this situation? What should I say or do? She is 34 and Im 26

it seems like most of my life ive been around drug addiction.like my friends are on cocaine,painkillers,just about most drugs you can think of.lost a friend a long time ago to meth.it caused him to have schizophrenia some crazy stuff to watch.still trying to figure out how to help.rehab is out of the question for the people i know that have these problems.i wasn't sure what category to put this in.they are not afraid to admit they have this problem.so it makes it a lot harder to convince them to stop.for the fact that its in there life style daily.yeah the funny thing is its more than one friend.i used to do drugs,but because of this main reason i stopped.i just smoked weed which is fine with me.im sober all the way because of drug addicts.it just seems like it was meant for me to be around drug addicts for some reason lol.or maybe im a drug addict magnet.i know its nothing to joke about.thats how it seems.
