How can I confront a friend about her drug use?

Question

We are sure it is happening. (Most of us are in recovery for something). She is borrowing money from everyone, MIA most of the time, got a week off of work for not showing up. I think she'll be in today to see her new schedule. Should I say something to her? how do I bring it up?

Answer 1

its hard to confront some one who doesnt realize they have  a problem.. you can be there for them when they need support, but also stern when it comes to letting them have money.. always a no. they have to hit rock bottom for them to realize that this isnt the way to live their life.. maybe giving her some examples into your life may let her see.. she needs to see she is doing wrong before she can fix it.  i had a best friend who went though this and with support from her daughter and friends she got through it and now is doing really great in life.. i am so proud of her!  

Answer 2

wow, that's tough

do any of you go to AA ? Maybe you could invite her to go along

don't tell her it's for her, just tell her you want someone to go w/

you so you won't have to go alone, perhaps she will see that she

has a problem once she gets there & hopefully she'll get the help she needs

other than that you might want to have her go over someone's house & all of you meet there & tell her your concerns about how she's living

I'm sorry to hear about this, it's sad, but I hope she is willing to get help  

Answer 3

Based on the description & lack of certain proof (you said nothing like "i know/witnessed her buying drugs with the borrowed $), it would be hard to pass judgment.  If you know for sure, you'd have to make sure you bring it up while she's sober/straight if you want to ask her about it (pose it as a ?, not an accusation).

Answer 4

thats a tough one, i think you got to fine out for sure, if you havent got any proof i dont think you can say anything coz IF your wrong which i think you aint coz you said your sure she will just turn against you.

and i reckon she will turn against you anyway.

i recko try catch her out if not try these drug lines you can go on it anonimous and they can let you know what to do
