I got an odd phone call last night. My friend called me to tell me that one of my good friends and this girl I once dated have been doing speed for the past few months. She found out cause the girl I used to date called my friend pissed cause she thought my friend had been talking shit about her but my friend told her that she was just concerned about her(which was true) and then the girl I used to date broke down and told her everything and that she really wants help.

She says she's been getting it from her co workers and my good friend(which isn't that surpising cause her boyfriend just got out of jail not too long ago for tweaking, gang activity etc. and the last I talked to her it seemed like he was falling back into his old ways)


Anyways I was just wondering if anyone here has any experience with actually helping someone out with this kinda thing. Most my friends have gotten too fucked up and tossed in jail or died so I don't know how to go about trying to help both of them get clean again. Like an intervention or something. I dunno.

Sorry man, I have never dealt with anything like that personally.
If you were to stage an intervention prepare for the worst and make sure to stress you are doing it because you care for them and don't want them to get hurt. Maybe someone else has better advice.
Good luck.

If you havent talked to her recently or had any contact then just showing up to help and save the day might not actually work. She wont take your help seriously if you haven t been close for awhile.

If she is asking for help from you or your friend be there. Getting away from a life stlye like this imvolves more then just friendly support but outside help as well. If she really wants to stop she need a change of enviroment and lifestyle. (and boyfriend)

The biggest part of this is that she need to want to be helped. If she always claims that "she just can 't stop" or it's "just who i am" then screw it cause the only thing that will happen is that you'll feel really bad and guilty for not being able to help her. And she will contuine down the same road.
