Hey you're the one that said you we're stupid. Heck, I wholeheartedly agree. Sorry about the addict statement, but you do so sound like one.

Tell him you will rat him out to the wife and end your friendship unless he flushes the **** in your presence and enters a 12 step program and works the steps. Go to the meetings with him.

You've heard a lot of rational-sounding arguments in favor of drug legalization, but you'll be damned if you can remember what they are.

Damn Funked, that's the best advice yet.

Also tell him you will do whatever it takes to prevent him from flushing his life down the toilet. And that you'll do this, knowing he might hate you, because he is your friend and you love him and his family and don't want to see them all suffer.

Sometimes we have to be agressive to intervene when people we love are crashing and burning...unfortunately most people are concerned that those they're trying to help will end up hating them, so they do nothing but watch, or offer an occasional timid comment, instead of getting proactive and doing something positive to actually help that person.

I wish someone had intervened when I was crashing and burning....I'd have a lot more money today, and a whole lot more braincells too.

If you like him, try to help him, including telling the wife.

If you do not end the friendship, because it will only come back to haunt you.

Either way, inform the wife.

As for those of you saying addicts knew what they were getting into before they started, I suggest you realise that is not the case. Many start as naive kids trying to fit in. Then end up hooked on something. Use heroin as an example. It is horribly addicting, and phenomenally painful to be withdrawn from. Now tell me someone you know that would willing wish that upon themselves.

Drugs, in any shape are not healthy for your body, mind, or spirit. No matter what anyone says, they are not. Remember, anything, that physically and / or psychologically addicts you can not, and is not a good thing.

If you are his friend do whatever you can to get him off the drug but do not get yourself in a situation where you get involved with the stuff. His life is his life, yours is yours. Dont end up in jail & with a criminal record because the cops find his drugs in your car.

I'd look at him straight in the eye and tell him to think about his daughters future. Word it so that it shows him that the worst thing a kid can have growing up is having a loser and a criminal for a father.

If that dont work then by all means, inform his wife, inform his parents even.

At this point consider your friendship over, but its a price worth paying if it means possibly saving his wife's and daughter's future (and possibly their lives too).

If you are his friend help him. If he's beyond help, help those he loves. Even if he hates you for it. There's nothing else you can do.

Good luck !

Its a good thing you came to the intardnet to solve this problem. Treat him like an addict like everyone else is saying you should and I'm sure he'll come around to his senses.

No, it's not treating him like he's an addict- that would be distancing yourself from him. Rather treat him as a friend you love who has a problem.

If people had intervened when I delevoped my suppository addiction I wouldn't be sitting on an inflatable donut with a colostomy sack in my lap right now.

I blame you for my condition Wulfie.

A good night, the best in a long time/
A new friend turned me on to an old favorite/
Nothing better than a dealer who's high/
Be high, convince them to buy

Seems so sick to the hypocrite norm/
Running their boring drills/
But we are an elite race of our own/
The stoners, junkies, and freaks

MwXX, get your facts straight: That guy is not your friend.
At lest in here friends are trying to keep you out from troubles and not trying to get you into them.
