Ashley1 answered Wednesday May 4 2005, 2:01 pm: There's notting you can really do to help him. I think you should try to meet another guy. Keep on and dating until you can meet the one. [ Ashley1's advice column | Ask Ashley1 A Question ]
zapreth answered Wednesday May 4 2005, 10:47 am: I feel for you, but there really is nothing you can do for him. It sounds as though he is getting all the help he can. Here's the part that will hurt you the most. He will not be helped until he has reached his personal rock bottom. No matter how many doctors he sees or how great the rehab program, until he wants help, nothing can help him. You can't push the realization on him. He has to find it in himself. I'm sorry I can't give you something that will make you feel better. [ zapreth's advice column | Ask zapreth A Question ]
Raven answered Wednesday May 4 2005, 10:40 am: well. first you need to actually state the question, so we know what we are going after... now if you're asking about what to do,here. everyone says find the one you "click" with. "clicking" is a sense of friendship, not dating. if you truly care about this person, you should let them know. make sure they know that you aren't with them just because the drugs are ruining their life and you plan to help them, just let them know you really enjoy being there for them, you know? let them know you ARE a friend, if not a girlfriend at the least. let them know they have somebody to listen, and feel things that doctors can't ; compassion. see how well they work out on this. good luck, blessed be.

GheadMak3myDay answered Wednesday May 4 2005, 4:54 am: Date and date some more. Dating is the process of getting to know someone on an intimate level. Some ppl you click with. Others you don't. Obviously this one was a non-clicker. Keep chuggin' along till you find one that does. [ GheadMak3myDay's advice column | Ask GheadMak3myDay A Question ]
