I am very grateful for, but not surprised by, the amount of caring responses I've received already. Thank you guys so much for that.
Now, I'm not sure if there are NA programs in my area, because I mean when I say small town for my location, I mean small town. If there isn't an NA program, there should be, because for such a small town, the amount of serious drug abuse is alarming. But this friend is the only one I'm close to who's having serious problems. But like many of you have said, he has to want help, and I don't think he does. Not yet. I honestly think he needs to hit rock bottom first, but I'm afraid of that. I think rock bottom is gonna be jail time or, worse, an OD. But as long as he's not dead, I think it would be worth it.
I have thought about ratting him out myself, because I think jail might be the only thing next to an OD that might actually wake him up. But I just can't do that. It seems like there should be some other way. But we're not his only friends anymore. If we try to push him too much I don't think it'll take much at all for him to completely give up on us. His other group of friends are the ones who got him started in the first place, and they totally support his getting high. If we piss him off by downing him about the shit, he just runs to them and gets his fix. And now of course, I'm sure he's starting to feel like they're his real friends.
The situation is just so completely fucked up.
I just don't know.
