Hey lovely SW's,
I don’t know if any of you have had experience with addiction but any words of wisdom would be hugely appreciated. I have a close friend (lets call him P). P has been addicted to alcohol for roughly 2 years, I’ve known him for 3. Around 3 months ago he started smoking weed (not that bad) and around 1 month ago he started taking cocaine. I can just see him spiralling, he can’t even give up smoking for Christ’s sake.
So many of his other ‘friends’ are acting like its totally normal and that’s really not helping him. I’m not talking about taking cocaine every once in a while (which I think is totally dumb, but besides the point) to have a really big blow out (pardon the pun) I’m talking about a growing addiction. I want to talk to him but I have no idea what to say.
For starters I’m fucking furious with him for even trying coke, he knows he has an addictive personality – his father has ruined his whole families’ life with his addiction to alcohol. But obviously wringing his throat would help too much and I really badly want to try to help. I just don’t know where to begin.
So, thanks in advance everyone and I feel a little better already![]()
