Good friend, and the rest of the story

[MwXX]

Asked my buddy for a ride to my car, that I had left at my office...and OTW there...he strikes up a conversation about how his neighbor and he got together in the afternoon to hang out....needless to say, "she" talked him into doing Coke.

(hes married, has a 2 yr old daughter, and good job) fyi..

I then asked him, why in the He** would you do that? he mentioned that he was just trying it out..."til 4am"

then the next comment to me was, that the next day it was done til that afternoon.........

in short....while we are driving...he mentions his posession of his "half" of the Coke...and asked me if I wanted to see.....my no comment obviously was a "yes" to him..so he pulls out an Envelope with it in it. By this time, Im freaking cuz I dont like to be around that kind of stuff, and I LOVE MY LIFE AND JOB!!!! DUH!!! but he insisted to lead me to believe it was ok to do it every so often...

NOW, this is a good friend of mine that looks me square in the eye and asks if I want to do a line with him.......................... ..

I said no of course....but now......my friend of all friends in  involved with something I totally dissagree with.

If this was your friend....aside from telling them the obvious (you could die, lose your job, die, die )....what would you do?

He is not your friend if he does not respect how you feel about it and keeps it far away from you and your family.

period.

Beat the sh*t outa him and tell him this is what its doing to his brain and life.

[GtoRA2]

Replace the coke with baking powder and laugh your bellybutton off when he does a line.





Actualy, there is not **** you can do, he prolly wont listen to you, it will take him ****ing his life up to realise it was a bad thing to do.


To bad he has a kid.

Tell his wife and then stay the heck away from him until he's clean.

eskimo

No means no.

I'd avoid him for the rest of my life.

A very good (older) friend of mine, the guy who got me into R/C flying, the best friend of my Uncle growing up, got back into drugs pretty seriously about 7 years after I met him.  Although it hurt to do so, I avoided him completely after that and didn't speak or write to him until years later when I heard he had just finished a trip to a rehab clinic.  He later got back into drugs and I haven't looked him up since.

People who do drugs, especially the hard ones, know exactly what they're doing.  Regardless of any addiction or an inability to kick the stuff, they knew what they were doing when they started, and they knew damn well that they were potentially throwing away everything, from their friends to their own life.  Why the heck would you want to have ANYTHING to do with that?

If I were you, I'd suggest he check into a rehab clinic.  If he goes, remain his friend.  If he doesn't, then he's chosen the chemicals over you and you have NO REASON to hang around with him.  He'll drag you down if he gets the chance, because people who use drugs like that will do anything for their next hit.

And.. I would seriously think about telling the wife in some way or another so she has the chanse to get out (with the kid) in time or help him. Just make damn sure he is not "joking" with you first.

what eagler said,
1994 similar thing happend to me, a friend asked me, i said no and broke the contact 100%.
1996 i heard from other friends he ended up doing suicide.
Listen to your inner voice, we are all individuals, what
someone enjoy can kill others. Its russian roulette.

Heh.  You couldn't have proven my point any better.  

I can tell the "cocain" you did made you smarter and your inability to spell, capitalize, and use correct grammar is just an affectation to help you pick up internet chicks.  Sure, I believe you.  It's harmless, and in no way affects your ability to get ahead in life, present yourself as an intelligent person, or achieve your goals.

"eagl" what is a eagl?

An eagl is someone who's accomplished something other than admitting to being a "stupid" addict.  heh... almost funny.

[john9001]

i have not used coke in over 25 years , why do you call me a "addict"?  sorry a "stupid addict".

i repeat.."brainwashed"

Tell him what a pointless high it is.
Oh sure the initial rush is great. I'd even venture to say it feels fantastic but that peak usually wears off in 1/2 hour or less then you spend the rest of the night doing more and more of it of it trying to achieve that same first rush and it never quite happens no matter how much you do.

Oh sure you get F#$ked up but its never quite the same as that first rush. that first peak.

Now I've done some coke.
I've had some where the top of my head felt numb and my throat was so numbed I couldn't feel myself swallow(freaky feeling)
But no matter how good the coke was it was always the same thing

I know for me, while I would be high I would also feel irritable with anyone talking to me for more then a min or two at a time.
I would be sitting at a party with someone talking to me and I'd outwardly politely listen to them but inwardly I'd be thinking to myself. "Why dont you please PLEASE just shut the #$#$ up"

So I just gave it up as a pointless high. Like I said the initial rush is fantastic. But that rush doesn't last long enough to make it worth the cost or effort to do it.

Its not like acid where everything takes on a new meaning, at least there you can solve the problems of the world or be fascinated by the subtle intricacies involved in a the legs of a ladybug climbing over your shirt.
 And the answers to the mysteries of the universe seem obvious.
 Those of you that have done it know exactly what Im talking about.and are grinning your arses off

Those that havent.
Think Chaos theory and the mind of mindset and thinking that had to go into that.

Whoever came up with the idea that a butterfly flapping its wings here could cause a hurricane on the other side of the globe was probably on acid when he came up with it.
Thats the kind of mindset

But coke? totally pointless.
