| So,please,to any family members or friends of addicts,if you want to help someone who is an addict,please don’t do what my mom did! If someone tells me "you better do this or that" its gonna make me want to do the exact opposite! We already know we have a problem,we know what will happen if we keep using,but we do not need to feel worse than we already do! Just please talk to us,openly & in a caring tone. We need to know we have support from you,that you will help us with our addiction problem. We don’t mean to hurt you,we are sick people who just want to get better! |
You know.. there is a saying… I like to learn. but I hate to be taught. I think it can be applied to your case. I have a friend who is an addict and when I first tried to talk to him and to prsuade him to stop, he just stopped taliking to me. So, I decided to make another move and I started to show him different stories about the people who are in the same troubles. And some wys out. And you know, it works… Now he is on reabilitation… And he admitted his problem.
