sigh,...sadly, i went through this with my brother. all you can ultimately do is sit them down and tell them, straight-faced (well, you know what i mean ;) ), and SERIOUS how you are concerned for their well-being. you can do the intervention thing. i did. ultimately though, that was more painful than helpful.
i'm sorry to tell ya babe, but, ultimately it's up to them.
i have to learn over and over about how much it hurts to see those you love in pain and ultimately how you can't do shit.
but that's just my experience. your's is completely unique and different. try to just be there. maybe it's not as bad a drug prob as my bro's though, and i sound like a dork.
Anyway, yea, I hate the fact that no matter what I do, she is the only one who can help herself. I just hate sitting in the sidelines, feeling like I'm losing her, and seeing how much she's hurting herself. I tried confronting her the other day about it but all she did was weirdly laugh, denied it, and changed the subject. I guess all I can do is be there... it sucks. *sigh*
Yeah, I feel like I'll lose her either way... at the current moment I'm debating whether or not to tell her parents (though she doesn't really live with them, except on breaks and what not) or someone else of authority.... and I know if I do that, she'll get really mad at me and prolly won't speak to me for a while... but on the other hand I don't want her to really do something to screw herself over and land in the hospital... so its a tough call. I'm not really doing anything about it right now and I still feel like I'm losing her...
I suppose the best option would be to confront her, then tell her parents if it gets worse... because a dead friend is worse than no friend at all. *sigh*
