my best friend does drugs how do i get him to stop?me and him have been through do much together we are each others life savers im afraid hes gona OD please help me i dont want to go to his funeral

*crying*

Your concern is well founded. The sad truth is that it is not within your power to get anyone to stop abusing drugs. The good news is there is hope, which comes from a Higher Power and a group unity to seek this power.

just support him and tell him clearly that you wont think any less of him if he stops!

honestly,
if hes that good of a friend, he would slowly
try and do it foryou,
but dont go out on a limb to change him,
because in that process, youll only end up changing yourself.

You should start by telling him of your concerns, how much you care about him, and how much he's scaring you. Continue by saying you'll be there for him no matter what.

But also realise that it's hard to stop doing some thing like drugs, and it'd take time and comitment.

first of all make him aware of the facts where eventually drugs lead to.if your friend shows any sign of giving up drugs half the battle is fought.keep on motivating your friend.go on this website www.hopeconference.com.dr yusuf merchant is god on this subject.he is running a prgramme for drug addicts and has 88% success rate.mail him and seek his guidance.all the best

Tell him you're upset, concerned etc. then tell him you're not going to talk to him until he cleans his act up. All your friends should do this.

You shouldn't have to suffer because someone is being a total idiot.

dont be mean to him about it
being addicted to drugs is like having a disease thats self inflicted, but once youve got it its very hard to get rid of.
ask him wether he wants to stop taking them because if he dosnt theres no way you can help him stop
but if he dose then help him through because it will be really hard for him
hope it helped

a 12 bore shotgun would stop him

I used to do drugs. I stopped cold turkey for a girl. Trust me it is not easy to quit. For the longest time you yearn for it. And without a powerful incentive you will probobly give in.

I used to do drugs and drink too...

For the first step tell him
1) How you feel about him doing drugs
2) Why you want him to stop
3) How much you love him
4) If he really loved you hed try to stop for you (my family did this one on me and it coped me through)
5) Effects of drugs if taken long enough can become 60% more dangerous for OD'ing because people will know what stuff mixed with others can become harmful then a starter
6) he may feel crappy trying to stop but keep telling him that hed feel so much better in the end if he stop drugs now

Ive been there and these are what helped me. I hope they work for you!

Drug use is not a self inflicted disease, it's the lowest common denominator of selfishness.

When someone abuses a drug it is not the drug that suffers.
Disease is any unhealthy condition of the mind or body
We do not usually think of selfishness as a disease of the mind or body
I like the way you worded that Bret because there is a lot of confusion about the treatment of drug addiction. Alternative treatments that are not spiritually based make the case that abusing drugs is a choice and not a disease. But I don’t understand how someone would seek treatment for a condition that they believe is healthy.

I have read theories that suggest that the soul is the subliminal mind
That may explain the success of spiritual steps, or changes in attitude, being effective in treating this condition

I think the Higher Power, Divine Love. or simply the God of your own understanding is the highest common denominator of selflessness which can only be accepted through humility

lol i was saying that like a simile not litterally

I can understand how chemical dependency can be viewed as a self-inflicted unhealthy condition. It is more absurd to me to believe you can treat a chemical dependency with chemicals, other than for detoxification purposes.

Additction to drugs or alcohol is a disease which creates horrible suffering for the addict and, quite often, for loved ones, neighbors and co-workers of the addict
