Helping addict friends try to get sober
Sooooo.... this is a tough situation. My friend of 25 years has battled his meth addiction for most of his adult life. He can stop for long periods of time but finds it again.
His girlfriend has been addicted to heroine for 5 years.
They both live in Washington. Until 2 days ago when we flew them out here to be near us. We have them put up in an extended stay for a week.
Then what? He hasn't done meth in a few weeks. She is detoxing now.
I was thinking of co-signing for an apartment so they have a place to live because they can't live in our home at all.
They were homeless and her younger sister just passed away tragically and the mom doesn't want her know because she is afraid that will push her over the edge. So her mom and dad begged and begged for us to help. So we caved.
I just don't know what to do now. Yes treatment is ideal but we cannot afford that. I have local NA meetings lined up.
Scared to death... Need some advice please...
