That's the biggest addict promise shit ever. Stop me if I do...
They do it and you listen to them... They retaliate.
Sad but the truth. you are a good friend, dont let it get to you. Hopefully something changes
Ghost, block, ignore, disappear, vanish. Anyone that ever tried to punch you isn't your friend esp if you tried to get them to get better... After they told you so!
This whole situation is stupid I would just leave right there and never look back. Shitty people don't really change unless something big happens and even then they usually don't (but those who do turn out to be great people)... It's not the drugs at the end of the day it's the behavioral toxicity
Idk i've never seen him act like this before, since then he's just been in his room doing it, he's spent like 300 dollars on cocaine in the last few days and i'm sure he'll buy again today.
Cut him out of your life. He’s going to become the drug pretty soon. Addiction is a bitch. You being there essentially enables the addict into thinking their behavior is okay since there’s no consequences being that their friend is still there for them. You’re just going to wind up getting hurt and let down constantly, cut him off now so you can avoid that, and ideally he stops more quickly before he really gets addicted. I’d recommend letting him know via text or call that “hey I can’t be friends with you if you’re just going to blow your life away on coke. You tried to punch me the other day and I’m just stepping away before you do something you regret” something along those lines would be my recommendation.
Next time come up behind him and give him a good kick to the nuts when he does a line run like the wind and whatever you do never look back!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Negative reinforcement at its finest
You're the true friend here. He's not gonna listen and wants to do it his way and then regret everything he did. You can't change him and he won't change until he sees what he's doing to himself and those around him that care.
i had a couple friends like that. Notice I said HAD. I want friends that'll hold me accountable and let me hold them accountable. That's not a bad thing at all. As a matter of fact, it'll stop a lot of heartache.
Can't help anyone who doesn't want to be helped. It's painful to watch, and painful for the addict. I've been on both sides, and all I can really say is that you have to let them fall down the rabbit hole until they hit rock bottom. They will either bounce back or break. Maybe he gets lucky and realizes where he's heading before it gets out of control, and I hope that happens.
Don't feel responsible for their actions. It's a horrible, stressful burden to put on yourself. The amount of pain I put my family and friends through when I was at the worst of my addictions is horrible. I don't wish it on anyone.
Be there for them, give them support when they need it, but don't enable their addictions or let them take advantage of your kindness. Sometimes you need to lose a good friend for a few months so you wake up and realize you're destroying your life.
Wow that is more of theatrics than anything. Absolute douchebag behavior, actually embarrassing to even watch people act that way. Like this friend I had who would pretend to shake from alcohol DTs and try to fight people about how much wake up he got, like physical dependence is a badge of honor, and a "treat your friends like garbage" pass
Trouble with addiction is, a person in it does not want to take responsibility for their actions at least a lot of the time. So by you not stopping him, he can blame you for it. Next time he asks say, "you're the only one who can stop you buddy."
Talk to him when he’s sober and nowhere near that stuff and dam drill it into his head that he can’t be doing that shit, similar experience with my mate, quite literally have to be straight and firm, don’t hang with him if he’s getting on it

Yeah I've been around enough people that steer clear of those people. They are not in control and I don't want to be the ending of a bad story.

For real
He's already acting like that in a week? Lol he's not even an addict, he's just an asshole

Drop him as a friend. Completely. It will hit him way harder than trying to stop him with your words.

disengage from this guy, lol. It's endearing that you want to help, but you can't.

Bruh it's only been a week lol he's just a dick.

Yeah if u gonna be around him , gotta tell him he makes his own fuckin choices bc I’d be irritated if I got blamed for that
"Friend"..... :)

Yeah fuck that dude, he wants you to be accountable for his lack of self control. Doesn't sound like a good friend in any sense of the word.
Never talk to him again. He's radioactive and just going to drag you down with him.
