My gf (who is a dancer) is spiraling out-of-control with drugs and alcohol. I am physically sick to watch this beautifiul, intelligent woman who has become my best friend destroying herself.
In the last few weeks, she has been depressed in bed for days at a time, failed to show up for our dates after I drove over 100 miles to see her, had her car wrecked and items stolen from her apartment. There are empty liquor bottles and drug paraphernalia around her place. I know she's used alcohol, marijuana, opiates, and Rx drugs.
This weekend, she met me for dinner and things started out fine. Then, she got drunk, told me she "just couldn't do this anymore." After that, she said "you enjoy your evening. Now I'm going to go get high" and left me there in shock. I haven't heard from her since.
I know I should just never talk to her again; but I love her (more than she loves herself.) She's headed for the hospital, the jail, or the morgue if this keeps going. Has anyone here ever helped a friend spiraling down or been pulled back from the brink?
Her family is non-existent and I'm sure her other "friends" are users too. I think I'm the only "normal" person in her life and would do anything to save her.
Thank you for your insights.
