hey, my name is Kerry and my friend has recently started on the H. He's young and i can't seem to get through to him and tell him the dangers of the stuff. i want him to realise what he's butting himself through and all his friends and family... any ideas?

Dear Kerry, have a read through some of the posts here. Sorry to put you on a downer, but there's nothing you can do. That's the nature of the beast. He's in his honeymoon phase, and right now he doesn't give a flying phuck what you, his family or anybody else thinks. The only thing you can do is back off, tell him you love him, and you're his friend, but you don't want to be around him whilst he's on the gear. Get away, before he's taxing you for a spare 10, riffling through your jewelry box whilst you think he's using the bog, and telling you any bullshyte he think you'll believe. It's what addicts do... I know, I've done it all myself.
sorry

Hi Kerry,
You're a good friend........like Diff said basically he isn't gonna to listen to anyone.....and it's almost a given he'll be asking ya for money and soon.
Hate to say this, but if he is young..........can ya anonymously tell his parents?
I hate to be a snitch, BUT the quicker someone is on to his game the quicker he may get some kind of help.......that's my opinion.
No matter though all you can do is let him know you're there for him.....BUT not while he is using........when he wants the help tell him you'll take his back....otherwise head for the hills.........like Diff said we did our friends like that.
If we steal from our own mothers we sure will steal from you too.

..Wotever you do or say won't sway him to stop using right now..he's probably
saying to you..im only doing a little bit ere and there and he won't get addicted to it etc etc ?..he's wrong, it'll grab him by the balls soon and won't let go..i know you are showing concern and ya don't like seeing him the way he is but theres nuffin you can do for him..he's the only one who can help himself..if you keep telling him of the dangers and stuff..he'll probably start attacking you verbally and tell ya where to go so to speak..cos thats wot heroin does to addicts..it turns people from friends into sumone ya wanna avoid and have no association with..he needs to get himself a referal from his doctor to go see a counsellor/drug worker..or go to a drug unit himself to get help..you can support him as a friend, but in the meantime don't fall for his lies and enable him by giving him money..and watch ya stuff that he can steal off ya to sell..as bryn and diff said above if we stole from our own family we sure stole from our mates, and even if we felt guilty about doing it..we went ahead and did it..and in time heroin will become his only friend..take care of yaself..and i hope he can get himself sum kind of treatment before his addiction will get worse..Robbie..
