[D31842]

I can’t believe I overlooked this question. I was addicted to Crystal Meth for about 2 years, and have been clean for 6. Drug abuse is an attempt to escape…escape what is up to the abuser to decide. I was very depressed over the loss of a job, and my occaisional weekend recreational drug use moved to a full-time 24/7 high. Most people who do drugs on a regular basis are ‘functional abusers’ – they hold down a job, pay bills, etc. This can and often does spiral out of control and result in the behaviors you’ve described. Unfortunately, you can’t do anything for your friend except urge him into counselling. For your own sanity you might want to distance youself from him to avoid witnessing his decline and spare yourself the heartache (and rage if you try to interfere with his high). He may need to hit rock bottom in order to see what a mess he’s made of his life, and there’s nothing you can do to force that realization on him sooner.
