As a friend, you need to drag him to Narcotics Anonymous meetings. I am one of the people who believes that almost anything can be used responsibly, and that almost nobody does. He can't, and you have to help him stop.
I am reminded of the classic religious poem, "Footprints in the Sand." As an agnositc and a non-believer in divine intervention, I really don't feel particularly strongly about divine help, but I think that our firends and family can be the ones who carry us through hard times. If you are religious, and you do believe in divine help, remember that in biblical accounts, God worked through others many times instead of reaching down from the clouds. If you're inclined to believe in such things, consider that it could be God calling you to fidn the lost sheep.
Quote:
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."

Now that I'm done being philosophical, I'll leave you with the harsh reality. If nobody helps your friend, you're going to have to decide who among your group are going to walk alongside his family as pallbearers. Trust me, anything you can do to save your friend is worth it.
