My Friend smokes crack, should I do anything?
July 28th, 2010
Ok one of my friend lives behind the shop that I work at. He’s about 55 years old and smokes crack atleast once a week. He’s been divorced three times and lives with his mother who is in her 80s. He cuts the grass at our shop for $15.00 a week and does yard work at several other places up and down the street. The guy has absolutely nothing, but is one of the most positive, happy, christian people I know. Before he started crack, he had nothing, and if he stopped, he would still have nothing. If he can smoke crack and be fulfilled with the way he lives his life is it ok?
I think that it’s very nice of you to care….I say you should definitly get some him some help, especially at his age
I would tell your friend that you don’t like that fact that he does crack. If he gets upset that’s okay, but since you are his friend and care about him, just leave the door open. when he hits rock bottom and desides that he wants help then you should be there for him. He has to want help before you can give it to him.
The problem with crack is that is escalates. No one is a casual crack user. They start that way and sooner or later it is the only thing on their mind. Their world will start to revolve around the addiction and what they have to do to get the money to buy it. Watch out, this could be serious trouble.
No, it’s not okay!! You said yourself that he still won’t have anything if he stops smoking. He’s just wasting his money on drugs when he could spend it on something much better. I would talk to him about it and try to make him realize what he’s doing to his body.
Good luck :)
Yes you should find him some help, thats no good, if one day his body doesnt want to take the drug the worst can happen. Yeah life could be though but which one you choose die of an overdose or try to find happiness?
awwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeee.
kay # 1. i think u should go and get them some help. u know hes life isn’t going so well. u said so. ur his friend right? u should tell someone how can help. he needs to be cared for. ur a caring person to asked about that. go to somewebsites to learn what crack can do to u. one of my friend’s mom’s friends was doing that and they got her help.
and he doesn’t have nothing. he has something which is u. well he probably has alot of somethings. he has alot of ppl how are probably worryed bout him. ur a careing person. u can help him get back on his feet. he’ll slowly become his self again. okay? get him so help. crack is bad for anyones body.
No, i think if he still smoking crack it makes things worse. He needs to find other ways that’ll make him happy other than crack.
TELLL HIM IT IS WRONG FOR U U ARE TO YOUNG TO DIE
You should have a talk with him. and get him to have a hobby in invest in.not that stuffr.but it is his life because when his mother dies he will sell the house to get a lot of that crack.thank you for caring.
