What To Do

Today was possibly one of the worst days ever ... a close friends mom is dying of cancer in hospital and he is not coping with it at all. He is a coke addict and he is totally going of the rails. He's taken about 18 sedatives already and tried to cut his wrists ... he's begged and pleaded with us for money but we absolutely refuse to give him any but he is really loosing it. We've brought him over to sleep here but we don't know what else to do. We will not support his coke habit, no matter what. How can we help him through this difficult time ... we are trying so hard to make him understand how selfish he is right now and that he need to be there for his dad, etc. but we are not getting through.
You are doing everything right. An addict that wants to use will try to wear you down to get you to give in...DONT. You are right on track, stay strong.
