How to Go About Getting Help for Someone Who Is Addicted to Coke?
Question by <3: how to go about getting help for someone who is addicted to coke?
a close family member of mine is addicted to coke. he doesn’t know that i know he is. but i know some of his close friends and they tell me that he is. from what i researched about cocaine, his attitude matches almost identically.i don’t know how to get him help without him freaking out on me or without him hating me. lately, when we get into subject about drugs he gets angry at me and calls me the meanest names he keeps asking me for money, and i give it to him because i know he is living on his own and needs the money to eat and survive. but lately i feel as if the money i have been giving him is going down the drain quite fast. how can i help him before its too late?

First you can stop giving him money. In the end, when he either comes to his senses or comes crashing down to a reality that has changed VERY much since he started, he will look back and thank you for what you are trying to do. You could be the only person courageous enough to confront him.
Don’t accuse him of anything, just come to him under the auspices of trying to help him. Tell him you are concerned because you love him and you don’t want to see anything bad happen to him. Ultimately this is a decision he will have to take, even though it is painful, you may just have to sit back and watch him destroy his own life before he will accept your help. For now, tell him about your concerns and that you will help him get treatment and how much you care.
Good luck.
