Drinking, and Going the wrong Direction!
16/F
My friend whom I care about alot has been heading down the wrong path for quite some time. I was best friends with him last year, then we just stopped talking because of what he started doing. We are still friends though, we just havent talked alot [make sense?] he just recently moved out of his house into an appartment, and dropped out of school. He is now into hard drugs and alcohal. How can i help him straighten up? he has already gone to rehab, which obviously didnt help too much. But i really want to get him out of drugs and into JESUS! haha.
How can i tell him i care for him, and i dont want to watch him kill himself any more?
but i dont want to sound tooo much like im in love with him or something.
thanks!

The sad part is, you can't do anything about it. People who are addicted to drugs and alcohol have to make their own choices. When you make a choice for them, they feel controlled and would drink and smoke even more. The best thing you can do is make him go to rehab again until he's sober. Rehab was made to work, if it's not working for him then he just wasn't there long enough. I hope everything goes well with your friend because my friend was in a similar situation. Now she's going out with this 22 year old and she's 15 and I believe she's also dropped out of high school.

Like the other person said, he has to do it on his own.
But just get people who care about him, or just you, and tell him that you care about him and just say how you feel about. Hopefully it will be a wake-up call, and he'll understand. But no one can help him unless he wants help.

There's not a lot you can do. He has to do it for himself. And it's hard to watch, I know. You ask "How can I tell him that I care for him, and I don't want to watch him kill himself". That pretty much sums it up, perfectly. Tell him that. And hope that he straightens up.
