Forcing infomation down her throat is NOT going to help her. It will only make her resent your freindship. You haven't seen her in three years. That's a lot of time apart. It isn't like you can act like you are a major part of her life. She knows the dangers of what she is doing and she obviously wants to stop. Just say to her "I know that you going through a lot and I trust that you are trying to better yourself. Just know that I am here to support you and please come to me if you ever need help." Then check up on her every couple of days. Pull her aside and privetely ask her how she's doing. Ask her if she is sure and if she wants to talk. Don't push it too much, but let her know that you care and that you are thinking about her. I'm afraid that this is all you can do. The ultimate decision for her well-being is left to her. You cannot change that, all you can do is offer your support and help if she needs it.


Best of Luck.

Ok..i dont wanna sound like a bitch here but i DO know her that well..i know her better than her own mom does..and just because i havent 'seen' her in three years doesnt mean i havent 'talked' to her in three years..now..excuse me for saying this but i REALLY dont think that your the one to go and judge if im a big part of her life, infact, she might even move in, she knows that i care about her and i know for a FACT that she cares about me..she wouldnt just gop and blab this to a person that isnt a big part of her life now would she??? sorry if i insulted you hun..but you 'kindof' insulted me too!
