| A Bad Sign?
My friend in high school used to be a cocaine addict. He was with a bad crowd, and was heavily into drugs. Then he met some new friends and started getting out of that habit. The thing is, I was happy for him and all but just last week he was talking about weekend plans and he casually mentioned that he was going to a party that night and was going to get smashed or do coke. Now, if he really was clean for 15 months, why would he do it again? He said just for fun, and that he can control how much he does and won't be an addict anymore. The thing is, I'm telling him not to do it because he had been clean for so long! Do you think he is reverting back, or does he have it "under control?"

I couldn't agree more. He probably "thinks" he has it under control but it is VERY unlikely. | |

Tell him : (insert name), Friend to friend dude, I know its not my life but you are my friend. You shouldn't resort back to doing coke, especially if you've been clean for 15 months. That's 15 months wasted, not only that but the stuff can kill you. Then continue telling him how you feel. be upfront, don't be afraid to tell him. If he's your friend, true friends will tell each other what they feel no matter how upset or ticked off the other one gets. |

Perhaps not but it's the addictive behavior that's a problem. What do you suppose the chances are that a recovering cocaine addict can get drunk with his old buddies (or new ones for that matter) and not eventually start using cocaine again? The best thing is to avoid that scene entirely.
