Teach him a loving lesson the hard way: club him over the head with a tire tool, leave him for dead in a tender friendly way, steal his coke, sell it at retail midwest America street prices, buy yourself something shiny and wear it in front of him often. Ask him how he likes your new "bling-bling".

It's a hard world out there and it's your duty as a friend to make sure life's hard lessons don't come from strangers.

Intardnet muscle flexing dudes...

Before beating himup or narcing him to his wife, consider talking him out of it. He might not listen and bang the b*** that made him try it... but at least you'll treat him like a human being.


Mac, was that you I spotted trying to f*** a bottle of spa in a club 20 years ago?

[Flit]

say Wow, cool, let me check it out .... aa, aaa aaaa CHOO!!!!
Then he'll be pissed at you for blowin his "half" all over the car and you won't need to tell him to F off.
 Then say, oops, sorry about that weeks worth of groceries:D

"eagl" what is a eagl?

An "eagl" is the following:

Someone who played Warbirds long enough to have had only a 4 letter handle, because that was all that was allowed, and he kept it,
An "eagl" is one of the best players the game had,
An "eagl" is an officer in the USAF, who flew F15 Eagle Fighter Jet aircraft and taught others in the USAF to fly military jet aircraft,
And an "eagl" is a good guy, liked and respected by all who know him .

Its not that bad..  in moderation of course..  I know peps who will on occasion have some fun. Some with very important jobs..  Whats worse, an occasional high or home drunk everynight with your kids?? You guys judge too harshly..

Why you people think this guy in this thread could not continue being a friend is way beyond me..  If he held Mx at gunpoint and made him do it that would be different.. Have not read that part yet though.

I think you should break his arm.

Len Bias, that scared me straight, never touched the stuff. Although one "line" didn't kill him, that's all it takes to have an effect on the heart. Why take the risk?


I think a good high is a game of rollerblade hockey.

I have a good friend who has done it in the past and might still do it occasionally. I've stated my negative opinion about it and he respects it. I don't see why I should freak out and break our friendship because of that. I know I'll never touch that stuff.

MvXX, Your friend will have his honeymoon with the drug and he will later come to his senses or not. There really is very little you can do about it. Breaking up your friendship will likely make it worse. Unless you are afraid you might start doing it too, I don't see what good it would do for you.

The worst thing you can do at this point is to tell his wife. If it gets worse she will find it out herself and act accordingly.

Be sensible and think very thoroughly before doing anything that might cause something irreversible.

yeah!  thew military gets the "right" stuff. a little speed anyone? it's much longer lasting than coke for a fraction of the price.

nothing beats the combo of good quality drugs and military hardware.  of course most of the old fat arses in here have to settle for "monster" and AH.

I suppose it is possible that there are people who do coke occaisonaly and in moderation and never get hooked.... I have met dozens who claimed that exact thing....

I never seen any that were telling the truth...  not one.  hell... I sold  enough of the crap back when.

what most do when they get broke or when they can no longer function because they can't keep from hitting the bag every 20 minutes or so... they switch to crank.... see... that is the real solution...little harsher and not so cool but.... you can get your nose out of the bag for hours at a time!  well.... at first anyway..

(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.........

MwXX,

I sympathize with your situation. I hate to bring this up, but if I know anything about human nature, he's doing more than just the coke. No one generally hangs out alone with a member of the opposite sex till 4 AM just doing lines, especially if they're high. He's well on his way to flushing his marriage as well. If I were you I'd simply confront him on that, as in "You're cheating on X, aren't you?"

Now, I've encountered a few men who've managed to hide alcoholism and even a coke or crack habit for a while, but eventually in all the cases something eventually broke loose. They got picked up attempting to buy, they got in a car wreck, one of their new found "friends" robbed them blind or shot them, their habit financially ruined them and their family, their spouse finally got tired of maintaining the facade of having a normal home and left taking the kids with them, regardless in some way the abscess that had been just below the skin burst and suddenly what they had been attempting to hide and manage was visible to everyone. What Moses warned of eventually always happens: "be sure your sin will find you out."

Generally however the warning "you are going to ruin your life" won't carry much weight with someone in that process. You will be perceived as being uncool, and underestimating their amazing ability to be the first person on earth to perfectly balance life and a coke habit, besides you are asking them to voluntarily stop doing something monkeys will choose over food until they drop dead in a lab test. Usually the person has to reach rock bottom before they even realize "hey, this stuff is in control of me, not vice versa." Now, if your friend is a professing Christian I'd give you slightly different advice, but fwiw my advice in your current situation is take this as seriously as a heart attack, get a lot of people he respects involved and do an "intervention" now, he'll hate you for it, but better that than waiting for the almost inevitable free fall.

The process requires a heck of a lot of intestinal fortitude and will probably suck but If you love him, and want his kids to grow up with their dad, rather than just visiting him on the weekends, then that should be the course you take.

I did coke and never got hooked. My room mates cousin was a dealer and most of the time we'd get it for free.
But I never felt I "had" to have it, and never craved for it when I didnt.
I got bored with doing it and saw it as a pointless high. and just stopped cause I didnt feel like doing it any more
Same thing with crank.

Now I know people who got hooked on both and worse.
but I personally for all the drugs I used to do never got hooked on any of them.

Hey XX

Well, if he's your friend then I'd do everything possible to get him off it.  There's many different ways of approaching the problem but you know him best and I'm sure you have a few ideas of how you can "help" him kick the habit.  Many people have said that "he's no friend of yours" blah blah blah... well, he is a friend of yours and you help your friends!  I wouldn't walk away too easily...  Do you have any other mutual friends?  Can they help too?  At the extreme end of the scale you could call the cops and they may force him to attend a rehabilitation course.  He doesn't have to know that you tipped the cops off but if he did know then he may thank you for it in the end.
