I guess you could tell him that u have spoke to me, and all that all he will get from coke is missery and it will just get worse and worse, and financial problems, depression ect. I guess you could tell him what I’ve told you. If you don’t want him to know about you being on here just leave it, unless you feel he will be OK with this.
Make him aware of the dangers, there are quite a few UK podcast with people who have beat addiction and they all say how much there life’s have changed, and how they feel happier and bought their own houses ect.
This stuff just ruins you, it’s like having a devil on your shoulder all the time saying,.. Let’s get some.. You will be OK.. One won’t hurt u.. Then it just gets worse and worse.
I’ve took up meditation now and I pray each day as part of my programme, and I guess this is his journey and only he can alter it. But if I was you I’d make him aware of the dangers. Tough love is another. But some addicts use this as an excuse to go worse. Screaming and shouting won’t work, but if u feel it’s necessary, you have to do what needs to be done.
Just go with your gut instinct. My mums best friends son died of coke 2 years ago, and she told me and she expected me to stop because of this. But I wouldn’t. Things like this don’t stop addicts. Sometimes we have to hit our rock bottom.
Does he want to stop?
I fully understand you don’t want him to be homeless, he could get worse and go on to harder drugs. Maybe lay some ground rules to him. Or he is out. But this is entirely up to you what you decide.
