Hey guys, today officially lost someone to drugs. She moving with the dealer and she does not chat with me on facebook that often. I feel like if I did something earlier then this would not have happened. I feel like a terrible person that doesn't deserve to be happy. I'm blame myself for everything. I suck as a person.
 
Ive seen people come and go due to drugs, and trust me when I say there is nothing that can be done , to rectify it ... however some people do realise what substance abuse does to them , and do come back when and if that happens you need to be prepared to be there for that person if you think you can cope with it
 
Hi African_weasel,
I don't know you or what you could have done if anything, and I feel for you, and your friend. I do know that it will do no one any good if you beat yourself up, or are down on yourself for what you did or didn't do. It is not easy to not feel responsible when things around us or people around us end up in bad situations. People are ultimately responsible for themselves, and all we can do is help when we can, and focus on keeping ourselves together enough to be in a position to help others. Sometimes we are able to help and sometimes we are not. Just hang in there and do your best to focus on what you can do now, whether or not that is helping this person, or possibly helping someone else, or maybe even simply helping yourself. (By helping yourself you can put yourself in a better position to help others, its not selfish.) I know I have done more than just listen and apologize if I have given unwanted advise. Please take care, and be well.
 
Hi, I am sorry, but people do make their own choices, and she may not really want to, but feels that is her only choice right now. Just stay there in the back ground and be her friend, she may need you one day. :)
 
Hey man, I'm sorry to hear about that. But weren't you already moving on?

Something just came up with the feds. Couldn't help but worry. There's a part of me that just doesn't care really.


I just don't know why I get tangled up with this.
