Substance Abuse?
Question by avedagrl2005: Substance Abuse?
I think someone very close to me has a problem with substance abuse.
It’s not just liquor… I have caught this person popping pills (Kind? I don’t know… But it was not a prescription bottle in their name) and running errands more than usual.
How do you bring something like that up? I do not want to push her away….not to mention the mood swings she is having (bad… really)….. I need help…. How do I mention how I feel w/o offending her or just pushing her away?
At what point have I over stepped my boundaries?
For the person who is very optimistic… Thank you for your positive outlook on this. She is a friend I refuse to lose, and those are hard to find. Thank you again.
As for the “not so optimistic” one…. I do agree that no matter how I put it or bring it up, it’s human to get defensive. No matter how much I want to help her…. she is the only one who can help “Her”….. BUT, I’m not going anywhere…. she is too good of a friend to just let go….She is smarter than this….

My opinion you will push them away no matter what a drug addict is not going to quit because someone is cocerned they dont care it will only make her mad and want to do more drugs she has to get to a point in her life when it matters to HER and not anyone else!
