Hi LGMC

Welcome to the forum, so many people here with loved ones with addictions and also some good advice from people in recovery.

We all have our low times when you are around people with addictions. I just wanted you to know that people care , and life isn’t always as straightforward as we would hope.

I’m sure you have been a good friend over the years. You can only support them so much when they have an addiction. Please don’t blame yourself for anything.

The choices are all theirs , some people dabble with drugs and can control it, others with addictive personality or possibly mental health issues will be unable to stop once they are triggered. i.e.

Broken relationship, a death etc.

Unfortunately it is out of our hands as they decide to go down this road of self destruction.

My son has alcohol and cocaine issues, weve had some tough times over the years. He’s currently 7weeks clean which is fantastic.

He told me that he always needs to know that he’s loved and support him as best we can. Give food but not cash.

She could still turn her life around but she needs to make that choice and reach out for help.

Its sad and ironic that exbf changed his views, but that’s life I guess. He’ll not be as upset as you, you are a sensitive caring person.

Be there if and where you can, pray for her to find strength to get through this.

Try not to beat yourself up about this, you’re not the one to blame, it’s all down to choices.

Take care, I’ll be thinking and praying for your friend. I hope she will turn her life around.

Always hear to chat

Lx
