I disagree. You won't find a love interest if you go around clubbing everyone.

Hey it worked for this guy!

Has anyone ever dealt with a friend or family member with a (very likely) cocaine addiction? I feel like I am at a total loss and I don’t know what to do. They are purposefully distant. If I have spoke to them once about it, I have spoke to them a hundred times but it falls on deaf ears every time.

I know Exo has a brother who is or was struggling with an addiction. He might talk to you and give you some advice if you PM him. Don't know if it is or was coke but I'm sure he would have some words of wisdom/encouragement for you.

I'm very familiar with cocaine addiction. I can only say that if this person's habit is causing you or anyone else to feel like they need to be talked to then it's probably safe to assume they're not going to quit until they're absolutely ready. It will more than likely take a life-changing event, whether thats jail/prison time, or worse. Sorry to hear though. It's a living hell to go through.

Yeah good idea, I may do this. I’m not sure what drugs but some drug addictions may be similar and how to help get him away from this ****. Thank you.

My worry is that it is going to kill him before it gets to that stage and I don’t know how to stop it

I don’t think his parents know (or they are turning a serious blind eye to his behaviour) and I don’t know if I should tell them. You are right, it’s a **** position to be in. Thanks plankton.

You could always contact someone in NA or AL-ANON, if available there. There are anonymous/free hotlines as well. They can guide you.

What do you do if you'd rather jump out a window than go back to your job? Assume all logical paths have been exhausted.

Jump out a window.
