My Ex-Boyfriend/close Friend Is Addicted to Crack/cocaine. What Should I Do to Help Him?
Question by SmokingChick08: My ex-boyfriend/close friend is addicted to crack/cocaine. What should I do to help him?
My ex-boyfriend and I are still really good friends. A few weeks ago, i found out he was experimenting with crack/cocaine. I have recently talked to my best friend, who is also really good friends with him. He appeared at her house at 1 A.M. to ask for $ 20. He’s also been asking my other friends for money, and stealing from his parents. My friend said his hair is becoming dull-looking, his skin is turning pale, droopping baggy eyes, black and blue arms(sounds like he’s shooting up), and the skin around his eyes looks like suction cups. This is really worrying me, and I’m afraid that talking to him may not do anything. I don’t want anything to happen to him, and I’m thinking of telling his parents and putting him in rehab. Is that a good solution, and does anyone have any other advice??

Yes! Save his life by telling his parents and getting an invention going on. I would rather risk losing him as a friend than him dying.
In the meanitme, do not give him money or even a place to stay. Addicts LIE and will steal from you and even their own mothers to get drugs. Good Luck!
