I haven't had friends addicted to herion but I've had friends that were hooked on other shit, but I know herion is one of the worst. I think personally what you did is the right choice, I know it would be hard to straight up tell her you don't want to be part of her life but that's the way it's going to have to be. It's her own choice whether she continue with her drug addiction or not and if you were there by her side as she continued to go down this path it would only give you more grief and heart ache. Whether she comes around or not is up to her and only her, hopefully she makes the right choice.

I've generally found that the 'we aren't speaking to you until you cut this shit out' method works for most people... and those it doesn't work for are probably lost causes, for what worthwhile person values a chemical over friendships?

If mom doesn't seem to care and she still lives at home,there's not much you can do.. except...

If you really want her to stop, more than you want her to be friends with you you want her to stop, you could report her to the police for trafficking the next time you know she has a lot, if you know where she keeps it...

Man thats some serious shit...
lots of awesome people have OD on that junk.. and while I do not see how anyone would enjoy sticking themselves with needles to fill there bodies with trash, I do know how hard it is to get some one to STOP hurting themselves.

The largest issue here would be her drive to stop herself. If she is causing harm to herself that means on some level she sees herself as 'worthless' why else would you harm your body? She needs to know that you care so deeply for her you don't want to see her get hurt or end up dead.

She has to make up her mind to quit. Yelling and getting in her face only makes her want to do it more. You have to convince her that the drug is not worth her life and your friendship. And shit, there is always ITS not guna kill you. Maybe she just needs some one to talk to... instead of punishing herself with drugs if she had some one to confide in perhaps she would give it up...

over all you don't need to push as hard... just support. Support her being happy without the substance, support your friendship free of the drug and hopefully she will wake up and see that you are looking out for your friend who you love.

Herroin is a tough habbit to break, and you don't want to see her get cross addicted... like replacing her need for H with booze or something. More than anything she needs a friend rite now. And Herroin will NEVER be as good of a friend as you, hell you are not trying to slowly kill her...

hopefully this helps I miss your face, and your art. See you on the flip side baby face :3

From what ive heard its one of the worst things to be hooked on. Ive heard its really hard to get off it... Maybe she could go onto something else to gently wean her off it? I know that doesnt sound good either, but i guess its better than what shes hooked on now. Isnt there any places that offer help for addicts? She could go to one of those.

I can give the advise I got.... I'v never had to deal with a friend on heroin, but Iv had many friends and my best friend and boyfriend for 3 years deal with coke.
There's not much you can do, but express with serious concern.
If you try to push it on them and get really forceful they will shut you out, and turn away.
Talk to them about future plans and what they wanna accomplish with their life.

Something else, everyone I know never quits cold turkey.
No-one.
It's something I would suggest cutting back. Start slow... ya know... baby steps.
Start from multiply times a day, to once a day. Once a day to a few times a week. A few times a week to only weekends.
After that, Ha... well everyone I know still does the drug.
That's another thing Ill point out.
You can still do the drug once in a while, out with friends at a party, or whatever; and still make something in your life.
It's all about MODERATION...*If I could underline that word I would*
Moderation.

But honestly, getting someone off something like herion will be fucking hard. It's a physical dependence, and extreamly hard on the body.

The only way they will become clean is if they truley want to.


Anywho, that's all I gotta say.
I usually don't reply to peoples journals, but This one popped out and I actually had something to say.

Cheers.

When the people find out how they have been ripped off and inslaved by the goverment; and the greed... They will revolt in anger, merciless anger.

There will be blood running in the streets.
