Found out my friend is shooting up :[
yeah hate on me blah b lah blah....
but I used to do 'ron a bit back.... I have been off of it since october.
one of my good freind's called and told me that our other good freind has been shooting up teh heroin..
and like pawning all his shit and being a sketchhead.
i feel kind of responsible, because I used to help him get it to smoke back in the day; I used to smoke it back in the day and if someone wanted to try it or get it I would let them. but not like pressure them.
I dunno, I mean I stopped a while ago, he moved. I didn't think he was still doing it at all.
I'm just kind of bummed out/... It sucks to see someone else go down the same road you have.
I already lost one friend this year, I don't want to lose another.

thanks man.
yeah I feel you, I have no reason to be judgemental, that would also be hypocritical I guess..
My freinds and his mom and shit are getting together and having like an intervention type thing for him... I wish I could go but it's all the way down in NC. :[
I'm gonna send him a message, giving him my support and shit, I guess...
It's weird becuase he has been pissed at me for a while becuase I thinks I ripped him off twenty bucks; so I haven't even seen him. Last I heard he didn't want to chill with me, so I just said whatever...
I dunno It's just weak...
but anyway thanks mikey, my names mike too.

This is an hard situation to be in. You can't save people unless they want to change atleast a little. If think are already rocky, I don't think you have anything to loose being straight up honest and tell him your experience and that you just want him to know, that you've been there and didn't like it.
Sorry to hear your are having a rough one. Take care man. You can't acept responsability for thinks you can't help. Just do what you think is right.

I'm not sure what you can do , hope he gets into treatment soon , i've been down that road and still on methedone , leave a pamflet with an adress of a local clinic for help and when he is as low as he gets he might just reach out to someone for help , tough love is all you can really do . I hope everything works out for you and you're friend .

As said above, there's not much you can do but be there for him.
Being 10 minutes from Camden AND Philly has lead me to see literally more friends than I can count walk that line, and more than I care to admit lose the battle with it. Dated a dude who was neck deep in it. Years of BS before we could get him checked into rehab. PM me some time dude if you needa talk about it. Shits rough.
Hope your boy figures it all out.
