He's thousands of miles away from "friends" has very little family who he dislikes and are not supportive. He has survived (because I wouldn't call it living) by living off of other people and mostly women
They call themselves his girlfriend he calls them his victims and they truly are. He sells his soul and "prostitutes" himself just to have a place to stay food a phone and of course money and drugs. I met him when he was clean and he told me this much of his past. He relapsed began to treat me like I was one of his victims and I have decided to no longer enable him. I have not called had no contact with him for 3 weeks. I want to help him and right now that means praying for him and letting go and letting God. I read this may help him and that when he hits bottom and loses everything he may decide to get serious about recovery . My question? He is homeless has next to nothing what in the hell has to happen to get his attention? And what is his impetus to change when there is another girl out there willing to be victimized?

Thanks !
