Telling parents sister does coke

Question

i used to do cocaine when i was in high school and some of college, and i will forever be in recovery (been clean for 2.5 years). my sister is 26 and just admitted to me (probably while she was high) that she "occasionally" does coke. how do i tell my parents that she needs help? i know what she's going through and i know all of the tricks. her demeanor and mental behaviour shows that she is more than "doing it occasionally" so i want to get her help. anyone have any words on how i should tackle this?

Answer 1

Just be honest with them.  Tell them what your sister told you, and also say you think it's more than "occasional" use.  

I wouldn't bother talking to your sister yourself, because she'd just ignore you or else get mad at you.  

Good luck.

Answer 2

Maybe you should talk to her about it, since you can relate to her and understand what she is going through. I wouldn't think getting your parents involved would be necessary since she is 26 years old.

Answer 3

Sit your sister down and tell her rehap or I tell mom and dad

Answer 4

This is what you do:

1) Take your sisters coke away from her

2) Restrain her forcefully with rope or other restraining device

3) Dump coke all over her

4) Call your parents in and warn them about your sicko sister

5) ?????

6) PROFIT!

Answer 5

do it and be done with it.  she will scream and yell but in the end she will be more than gratefull. it might save her life and makes sure people are taking care of her.  ease on to it and don't rush into it.  have you told your parents you did it too?  if you haven't then you might want to mention that too.  just be there for her  

Answer 6

dont tell your parents this will just make her angry and never wanna talk to you or tell you anything again. just talk to her about ir yourself if youre that concerned

Answer 7

ouch ouch ouch.

The only problem with this, is that, well, you're sister is going to be really mad at you. She told you this because she trusts you, maybe because you could give her helpful advice since you've been through it yourself. But she is an adult...don't go home telling Mom.

Try talking to her before causing a lot of drama in the family. Tell her you're concerned, tell her how you dealt with it.

good luck

Answer 8

well you are the perfect candidate to tell her, you've been there and you went thru the bs soo who else but you, sit down n talk to her, and  if she dont listen then just sit them down n talk to them not like gossip bt like a conserned sister. and give them information on how to help her.  

Answer 9

Tell them. No tricks, no secrets just do it. No matter how you tell them or what you say, they will be upset so you just have to tell them.
