please answer asap...[DOC--heroin/crack]

so i posted earlier about heroin wds and what not....now i have a question for anyone that has done heroin or crack.

when you were addicted, doing it on the regular, did you just not want help? were you trying to reach out to any family members that were giving you 'tough love'? even though you were addicted to that i am sure you still had thoughts and feelings. or does all of that just go away?

my friend is wd'ing, not even sure if he wants to quit, won't go to a counsler and his family seems to be giving up on them. i just told them that no matter what they need to sit down and have a serious talk w him letting him know that even if he doesnt care about himself other people do. i also said he obviously can't just quit on his own, so he really needs to go to a counsler or something.

his brother just told me it was a waste of time....no one can help people like that...i don't understand because i am not going through it as a family member and that they are done trying and that it is up to him and f*** him.

what?

i don't know what to do here....if it was my sister i have a hard time thinking that i would just give up on her and quit tryign. what the ****? he is a human being, there family member....

if i am wrong here, and if heroin addicts just really don't care about even they're immediate family, at all, to the point of being okay with dying from this drug, let me know. because i don't know what to do or say when i go home.

thanks

that is how i feel also....but anytime i try to keep telling them to just hang on and that they can't give up on him, they give me a reason why it's not going to work....i don't know how he is so lucky, but he hasn't gotten in trouble with the law in about 4 years...so unfort he can't be forced into treatment, although i have honestly prayed for that.
i really think he is at that point, where there are certain things i see and hear, that makes me think he is trying to still reach out to them somehow but they all don't catch it. i don't know if they are just numb to the whole situation or what. but i have been there this whole time, up all night praying for him when he was in a coma, seen all the thefts and everything, but i am still trying. i am not even his family and i still want to TRY and help him.....

thank you, please if nothing else pray....and pass on the memo....

i thought him od'ing, being in a coma, and almost killing himself would have woken him up, but it didn't.

i don't want his death to be his rock bottom and i refuse to just sit and watch. if anyone thinks of anything please post or PM me....he needs help and i do as well seeing as i dont know how to handle the situation.

thanks everyone
