Topic: How can you convince someone there are better ways to cope with loss than drinking and getting high?
Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago#1,637
I am worried about a friend right now...They've seen what that shit can do to you, but they are ignoring me when I point that out. I am terrified. They're going through so much, but there are better ways to deal than this...
And they live thousands of miles away...I can't physically stop them from going to the ghetto parts of town to try and drink away their sorrow...
I'm terrified. I don't know what to do. I feel helpless..
> 1. Stop being stickybuns > 2. Shut off your computer > 3. ????? > 4. Everyone is happy

Lol @ this thread.
Answer: You can't. They have to figure it out on their own, and eventually will.

I'm sure you are, that doesn't change the fact you and your friends are a bunch of needy little assholes who require others to moderate every decision they make.
Why don't you explain to this internet bitch (I'm assuming yall have already made countless proclamations of love) that they can get drugs and alcohol without going to the ghetto, and save the heartfelt intervention for later.

Simple solution: Don't try to take on something you can't do yourself and expect us to bail you out.

All of ya'll niggas above me are unhelpful motha fuckas. Being rude n shit.
Your friend is in need of your attention. Just be there for your friend... And listen. Try to tell him/her about complications and risks of being an alcoholic + drug addict LOL. Don't give the "lol do wat u want its ur life", that would make what they're going through all the harder.

Your tone has a certain quality to it that grates on a lot of people's nerves, that's all. @30,658 (H)
First part, yes.
Second part is hard to pull off, and will backfire HARD in most situations.
