well that bites. however, it's the nature of the beast Flame...cocaine is just a monster to get over. i made day 3 so dang many times, but by then i'd have enough rest in me, and some food, and by golly wasn't i feeling pretty spiffy and then that "magical" thinking would take over - gee wasn't THAT bad, feeling pretty damn good, hey let's get some sh!t!!!!
i know it might sound like we harp on a the "hands off the addict" thing but there IS a good reason. one, if we get overly involved in THEIR recovery, or lack thereof, we tend to have EXPECTATIONS on how that's gonna go. two, addicts simply HAVE to figure it out for themselves - if we are always there to act as the "dope bouncer" or try to talk em out of it or see them as helpless, we are impeding THEIR process.
good for both of you for taking a giant step back. i might suggest the next time you are in conversation with your friend, and you suspect he's high that you shut down the conversation sooner.......don't "participate"....
