Allright, so I grew up with a really close group of friends. Like brothers. And for the most part, we still are, but just like every big family has a black sheep, one of us is straying from the beaten path.

He's been surrounded by drugs his entire life, but he always stayed away from that when we were younger. We thought he had seen the horrors of drug abuse and wanted nothing to do with it. We were wrong.

He started behind our backs, he would just disappear for weeks at a time, and then turn up with some lame excuse like he was in Indiana with a friend of his. Shit like that. Then he came clean and finally told us what he had been doing. And what he had been doing was pretty much everything, I don't know much about drugs, but I know that you can get your hands on just about anything you want where I live, and he's been into all of it.

Well, we tried to help him, you know. Tried every possible angle, and everytime he acts receptive, like he knows we're right and he wants help, but then I swear to you, he'll say he's going to the bathroom and just walk right out of the house to go smoke crack and not come back. Last night he stole seven dollars off another member of our tightly-knit group. It's getting very severe.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? What did you do? What should we do?

This is just something that I know we're not prepared to handle, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
