Your friend is abusing drugs. There is every possibility that he is addicted, owing to the mood swings and erratic behavior. Unfortunately, there’s nothing you can do to save him – he must want to stop the drugs himself. You are functioning as an ‘enabler’, a term from Alcoholics Anonymous that describes those people willing to excuse or overlook excessive behavior for the benefit of the ‘relationship’. You’re hurting yourself by doing it. The best thing that you can do is tell him you won’t put up with his behavior and stop seeing him. Once clean, you may continue the relationship when he realizes how abusive he was to you with his behavior. And you can offer all the loving support during his drying out process. But if he continues to use, you must be strong and end the friendship. Its the only way you’ll stay sane. I know what I’m talking about. I used to be addicted to crystal meth and am 5 years clean now because my family and friends did this for me and I woke up to the damage I was doing to myself and others.
