I am 14/F..My best friend and I have been friends for two years, best friends for about a year. We used to talk every day on the phone for atleast an hour, just getting to know each other really well. Eventually it became him being very upset because his mind is so mixed up because of his drug and acholol use. This is where the problem starts..he drinks and smokes..i don't, I totally dissaprove of all that. But, I stuck by his side. No one else did. He has called me at two and three AM drunk and eventually he just gets into a crying fit after about an hour of us talking..Eventually about after 6months of me telling him and telling he needed to quit he realized what he was doing was wrong and he quit for almost two months. No ciggerettes, pot, or acholol. Just recently he has started drinking again. I told him I wish he would stop and he said no i'm 14 and I want to have fun, people change. I'm torn to pieces that he thinks this. I have read internet articles about acholics. Drugs and acholol have totally taken over his mind in the past two years. So in actuality when I talk to him , its sort of like i'm talking to the drug, or so thats what the experts say. I just want my Best Friend back. I'm not sure how to approach him that he will not get mad. If anyone has any advice or can relate to me iM me on AOL (bballxbaberzx33) i'd really really appreciate it!!!

How can you get your friend back? That's up to him. You may never get him back. You've already tried to tell him that it's bad for him and he has chosen not to listen. If he thinks he's grown up at 14,I hate to break it to him but,he ain't. He seems to talk to you a lot because he knows that you'll like him no matter what. There really is nothing you can do here.

I have a friend whose dad died from marijuana and now he is taking it. It can be very harmful. Make sure your friend knows that. Good luck sweety

Kali7890 answered Tuesday July 20 2004, 1:22 am: Hey, you obviously care about him and want the best for him so you need to tell him that and why you're worried. If he doesn't straighten up then maybe you should tell your parents or his and then he could maybe go to a counselor/therapist. I hope everything works out and I hope I helped. ~*~KaLi~*~ [ Kali7890's advice column | Ask Kali7890 A Question ]
