I gave up on a close friend this weekend and it sucks. I received an email from my friend telling me the reason I haven't heard from this person was because they were fighting an addiction. I knew my friend was a drinker and occasionally used drugs, mainly pot but I didn't realize how serious it was. I drank beer and smoked pot myself but it didn't control me, guess I was lucky in that sense. My friend lives in Texas, I'm in NY so my hands are tied. I've made several phone calls which go unanswered for days, at one point it was over a month. There isn't much I can do, I'll make the phone calls and send the emails but I can't afford to fly across the country to make sure my friend is okay. I sent this person a text message saying I give up, you won't answer your phone, return phone calls, so there is nothing else I can do.

Someone give me some advice, I feel like I'm being heartless but if this person doesn't respond to me well then fuck it. what else can I do?

so to change the tone of my entry some: I didn't make it to the Thanksgiving day parade, I overslept! I still managed to eat alot, had some pumpkin curry soup that was seriously the bomb. I gained back the weight I've lost when I first moved to NY.

I'm gonna attempt to make the tree lighting at rockefeller center this wednesday instead, it's not too cold this week and I even have my windows wide open at the moment.
