My best friend is a drug addict (alcoholic), he knows this and doesn't care. He'll often talk of how he'll die the same way his grandad did (siroccos) and even points to how it's bad for him. I know that he's checked himself into rehab twice, both to try and save failing relationships. Of course when he sobered up, they still couldn't patch things up so he looked at it as "it wasn't the booze after all," and went right back to drinking. Whenever this happens, he comes to live with me. I get to watch him drop off the wagon, and go through the depression of yet another failed relationship simultaniously. Nice. Well, what I do is be supportive. I'll let him slide (let him get to 40 beers a night this time), then I'll bring him back. Now I know I can't get him to quit drinking, and I know if I tried, he would view me as an enemy of sorts. What I do is try to get him to control himself more. You see, it's okay to drink. It's okay to go on a "fad diet." Smoke a jay on the weekend with your friends, it's cool. It's when you loose your ability to control when and where you do it, that you have a problem. Most people have a lust for liberty installed in them, thus they don't want to be a slave to anyone or anything. If you can show them how they've completely ceded control over to another entity, they might just come back. A person has to want to change, and they have to want to do it for themselves. If they are doing it for someone else, and that person lets them down, they will be right back into whatever they gave up almost instantly. Addictions, any kind, are hard to break. Take it from a guy who smoked 13 years, quit for 6, then came back to smoking. Once addicted, always addicted. The desire will never stop, how you feed the desire is the only control you have. I'm not the two pack smoker I was, but I can see him in me. thanks for sharing. |

I have lived through it..You can't make someone get help..They have to want it...No matter what you do...If they are not ready for the help, it will not work...I would never turn my back on them, but you can't force someone to get help..... Your so right about that and she knows that I have been through it with a family all I could do is stand back and let her hit bottom to help her pick herself up and start climbing that hill to get better......I never turned my back on them even when it involved other people in the family. I was there for her and made sure she was not alone. Tough road tough time but we did it and were stronger now. same here with the ex, but i reached a point where i had to let go or i would have lost everything because of his addiction and for the kids i had to survive. and it is true, they have to seek help, if and when they are ready. i learned that the hard way more times than i can count. it wasn't until there really was nothing left, he sought help and he's 4 years into recovery now. to let someone go in that condition was the hardest thing i ever had to do. I am affraid that is what she is going to have to do, is let go and let him hit bottom there are choices and consequences....just encourage ,love,support and hope bro |

Being Alone.
|

Dude...I dig my solitude. It has nothing to do with feeling lonely. I truly understand Pred.....I too have no interest in what the rest of the world wants. Sure, I enjoy pleasant female company...(Exactly the reason I am here)....But, never gonna get married/divorced, any woman of mine will damned sure have her own place (home) and only gets one drawer in my house. At this point, I am a fully developed adult with my own life. I expect the woman that I am with to have her own life as well. If time can be mutually shared, then fine. If not, I know very well that I have made it this far without anyone that I have dated. Just one drawer????? OMG! Where am I suppost to put my shoes?????? lol |

My little brother was an alcoholic... and I certainly wish I had done something to intervene before he died in a car accident from drinking and driving Giggles I am so sorry , that is what we are trying to stop from happening all i can say is dont wait..... i cant change the past... and i have alot of regrets... try to help now before its too late... guilt is a terrible thing thats what she is trying to do, but she is the Mom and you know that Moms dont know anything I wish I could tallk to her... because it happens so quick.. you dont know what hit you... there is no warning [/quote Warnings often are late to the party |

Is Honesty the best Policy??
|
|
I was taught that honesty was the best policy from a very young age... However, I find there are very few people anymore that actually want honesty, that can actually deal with a person who can be 110% honest with them. Most people seem to think that no one can be 100% honest with anybody, so they can't believe my honesty. DEPENDS ON THE DELIVERY, SOMETIMES SAYING NOTHING IS BEST, AS WELL. |

in your life that had a drug addiction or a eating disorder and they were out of control and you could see them dying in front of you. Would you do an intervention to save their life? NO, I do not have any of this in my family or close friends. I was just thinking about this, we were talking about this at work today. good question. I don t know the answer but refreshing question to see on jsh What's going on Chuck, Pat's preseason starts aug 8th I went to a wedding at the stadium sat night...was cool patriots place will be great |

I don t know the answer but refreshing question to see on jsh Thank you, a friend of mine is having this problem with one of them, so I just wanted to see what everyone would say, and maybe get some answers that I couldnt offer to her. I would say be possitive, encourage and support them to want to help themselves. Im no pro. though me either show love and be a friend. follow your heart |
