This community is a place to share information and support with others who are trying to stop using drugs, prescription drugs, alcohol, tobacco or other addictive substances. Discuss with others, the symptoms of addiction, addiction recovery, ways to quit like tapering and cold turkey, and withdrawal symptoms. If you are interested in general "chat", please visit our
Addiction Social Community.
I know plenty of people who used cocaine recreationally and grew out of it. Not everyone does, some develop real problems, some lose their lives.
Either way, there is probably not a damn thing you can do to discourage someone from taking drugs. You can be there for them if they ask for help.
You can only captain your own soul. Just be a friend and live your own life.
