I have a very good friend & I think he's gonna overdose.
I have a very good friend of mine who I haven't known very long but we have bonded like no other. We both have problembs in our lives but his our way too serious for me to give any real advice. I know he wants my help whenever I look in his eyes. He's basicly telling me to help him every time we talk, but he's scared. He was recintly in a mental Hospital for attempting. I need to help him on my own though because He will never forgive me if I tell his parents or anyone else, but I would rather lose this friendship and save his life then sit here and watch him die, knowing that I could have helped. His newest thing to do is ?coridicin? aka CCC's, a coughing med. He's been taking about 29-32 every weekend and he has been in intensive care from overdoseing once. If that won't teach him that he can't controll rather he dies or lives idk what will. He makes me an empty promise every time he trips, he always tells me he promises he wont die.Why doesn't he see he isn't playing a game anymore? I want to tell him that I care for him and I know he likes me more then a friend, but I can't love somone more then this when they risk braking my heart and ending their life every weekend. I just want to save him. Please help me.
if you have msn messenger plz add me mirandaskye89@msn.com

Unfortunately the only one who can save
an addict is the addict. It is not easy.
He cares for you but loves being high much
more.
There is a lot of heartache ahead for you
if you continue in this relationship. Its
unhealthy for you to waste your young years
hoping for a decent relationship with this
guy. I know you care for him but best advice
is for you to move on with your life. Wish him
the best and hope he gets a handle on it before
its to late.
By all means express your concerns to his
parents. If he spends time in mental
hospitals and ICUs then they probably
already know. Like you, they can't do a lot
to fix someone that won't help his self.
Until he does, you are better off without
him. You will make up your own mind about
what to do but that is my advice.
Good luck.

Tell his parents. Or better yet, convince him to tell them himself. He may be mad at you for it, but like you already said, it's better than having him die. He can't promise not to die. It doesn't work that way. He will probably thank you for it later, once he's better. I don't see how his parents can't already know though. I assume they pay for his hospital bills? Just talk to his parents. His life is more important than his friendship. His death will hurt more than his anger will. The only thing that can help him is a doctor and a rehab center. You can't help him get better. He needs to want to get himself better. I think he already wants to get better but doesn't know how. If he won't tell his parents, he can always go to the doctor alone (or with you) and talk about this problem. The doctor can offer advice. Unburden the load on yourself, you can't handle this alone. You could also talk to your own parents/guardians about this. Don't let him become completely dependent on you and don't date him. It will be an unhealthy relationship. Just remain friends until he is healed. Good luck.
