if your friend is as good a friend as you say he is................then i would shove my foot up his ass, tell his wife the way things are and literally hogtie him and take him to rehab. there is no wambie pampie method kinder gentler politically correct method!
your dealing with a time bomb. boooze and dope prescribed or illegal is a bad combo. been there lived that never ever NEVER EVER AGAIN!(twice-ex and older son)
read david crosbys "LONG TIME GONE" book and count how many times he rehab"ed and then throw the dice to see if your friend comes around back to a normal life. your guess is a good as mine.
no matter how much you care, no matter how much you wanna help, no matter how much money or time spent it all depends on HIM!
a good example is a gal i know who started an employment agency here herself. hubby was a booze hound, they had numerous interventions. he continued his poor behaviour. had the BIG INTERVENTION and all the family basically said rehab or you will never see us or your grandkids! what does he do? goes home and shoots himself in the head with a .38!!!! WTF??????
i have never met a woman so strong despite this tragedy. she gave me some damn good advice during my life crap.............sooner or later it will kill you also, and you have to walk away!!!!! cold hard truth but substance abuse doesnt just effect the user. it effects everyone around in spades. ie. you will be sucked into the vortex also!
my advice..........drive him to rehab, help him anyway you can, if he continues..........WALK AWAY! because sooner or later YOU will become co-dependant. not an easy subject, not a kind retort, but it is REALITY and i have been there and i didnt like it one damn bit!
heres the ending chapter to substance abuse and it is writtian in ******* GRANITE!
1) rehab
2) jail or prison
3) death
any questions?????????
GOOD LUCK!
