Hello guys, first let me give you a little info about myself and the situation. I am 20 years old a fairly young man and my best friend who I knew since I was five is now 18 years old.

A few months ago my friend 'tried' heroin by snorting it and said 'no big deal its just experimental' and I was kinda foolish to believe him i didn't think he was lying because their were a couple occasions when a few of us guys got together and busted some lines of cocaine and woke up the next day feeling shitty and not wanting to do anymore.

Anyway, he is still doing heroin and I think he may have started to shoot. I cant say for sure but I don't know how to help him. He's young and he crashed his car and got a DWAI under the influence and things will only get worse. Right now he lives with his grandma because his mom died a year ago. What should I do? Who should I talk to?

I'll be sad as fuck if i have to turn away from him. Like not trying to be homo but hes my only REAL friend. We all know how 'friends' are when it comes to weed but hes the only tue person i know.

I need more friends that respect the maryjane and dont just look at it as a way to escape and get high. I need friends who are successful and respect the herb and do what they got to do to make it.

You can speak to him about his issue explain your concern and listen to him
People use for various reasons I'm sure loosing his mother so young is part of why he wants to get high
Offer to bring him to rehab or work on a plan for getting some help or counsel

Sadly though the truth is aside from reaching out and offering help he has to want to get clean

If he's already shooting it so soon, I'd have to say he's a lost cause unfortunately. Very few people that I know have rebounded from shooting. In fact most are dead. Not saying you shouldn't talk to him, but it's probably already a lost cause.

My father told me years ago that the reason why he never tried "hard" drugs was simply a fear of liking them. Sorry about your homie man. That sucks.

Tell him exactly what you feel is happening, tell him if he wants to stop you support that.
Just understand you can not compete with heroin addiction.
Your friend may be lost and that is sad.
Don't start begging and shit because a real addict will use the shit out of you if they perceive they can play on your sympathy.
The people at narc anon can help you understand how to take care of yourself and how best to deal with your buddy.
It is work on yer end but you will benefit him and you when you approach this from an educated place.
its what they do.

you can try to help, but wouldn't recommend thinking you can help shit. your friend likely perceives the H does much more for him than you can ever do.


find more friends and don't be attached to an addict. had a buddy that started snorting H in his early 20s and was dead by 29.
