It's disheartening to see all the cold responses or others making a joke out of this.

Ive done psychedelics, smoked a lot of weed, used to do MDMA and ecstacy for two years and am currently addicted to cigarettes. I will say this - just because someones in a bad spot does not mean they can't pull themselves out. Within a few months I will have made the biggest comeback financially out of all my friends and honestly... At my lowest, I would've loved to have someone like you.

When I was still younger and experimenting with these drugs a friend of mine was with me at an after party to a rave. This had been someone I knew since grade school.... One of my best friends. Someone loved within our circle. He wound up disappearing for a while that night but I never thought anything of it. The next morning we were at his house and we talked about the night before and then he told me... "Dude. I smoked meth last night."

There were two rules I had during those years: never, ever try meth. Never, ever try heroin.

Naturally I kept my composure when he said this but I was shocked at the time. I asked him what it was like and how this had happened. Then I made sure he wasn't planning on making the same mistake.

Over time Sam started to change. At parties things would begin missing. Little things at first. In hindsight he never took from us, his kindergarten brothers but eventually some colleagues found out he was stealing from them at a party and got kicked out. He was acting really weird, he looked strange all the time and started wearing a hood a lot. We all knew what was going on... A slow, gradual decay. We had little choice and eventually just abandoned him.

One of the greatest sins I think I've ever committed is not fulfilling my obligation to help him as a friend. Based on everything you've said, you've earned my respect and admiration as a person. If he's struggling with this kind of problem, help him before it's too Iate.meth is no joke and if he was on it before chances are he never left. People can change. I've changed. You owe it to him as a human being, as a friend to steer him on the right path. All of these negative responses are cold and bitter and they can honestly go fuck themselves. The last thing we need is someone else giving up.
