Chelle-82 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 suddenly hes an addict with a 4.5k a month habit?? really he must have been a druggie beforehand? sorry no sympathy here except whoever gave him the inheritance must be turning over in the grave:roll: No one is asking for your sympathy! ---------- Post added 06-11-2018 at 10:41 ---------- Hi Dinofan, Sorry to hear this about your brother, addiction is an awful disease. I hope you find the strength to support him and i hope he finds the strength to fight his addictions. Unfortunately there isnt much you can do, it is entirely up to him to fight his demons and seek help IF/WHEN he wants to x ---------- Post added 06-11-2018 at 10:42 ---------- speaking on personal experience, he needs to see whats happening around him, with his lifestyle having a big effect on his family and friends, while hes got easy money that wont happen, I would suggest get the 40k away from him somehow, the remove any thing of value from your house and his, as he WILL pinch it and WILL sell it, when theres no cash left and nothing to pinch no bank cards to get money from [your bank card not his] then he might start looking at his life, tough love is the quickest answer I can give, we had the problem for ten years with weed [that people say isn't a problem] my friends son was a drug addict for twenty years before he got straight , and I no more, and there familys all say the same about tough love, you have to do it, its hard but do it and stick to it, basically get him to rock bottom as quick as you can and remember its the drugs you are fighting and not him, the scumbag dealers should live with an addict then theyed probably stop dealing Rubbish!!!! absolute rubbish.... I have had very close members of my family go through drug abuse and they havent once stolen anything from anyone to feed their habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mossway Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I’ve had dealings with heroin users over the last 30 years. I assure anybody that when a heroin user is withdrawing (rattling) he/she will do most things to get a further toot/dig (depending how heavy their addiction is). I’ve not yet met a regular heroin user who hasn’t stolen/burgled/ robbed to feed his/her habit, unfortunately. I agree they need help, but getting them to attend the drug agencies isn’t easy, and I don’t know the answer. Many on a meth scrip still have to top up.

What do you know? what personal experience have you had? Those who i know had full time jobs as construction workers!! they paid for their own drugs! People are blinkered to think that only those who dont have an income can become addicted to drugs and can't possibly work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 ?? What do you know? what personal experience have you had? Those who i know had full time jobs as construction workers!! they paid for their own drugs! People are blinkered to think that only those who dont have an income can become addicted to drugs and can't possibly work!! That's a really bizarre post. You're actually agreeing with what boringal said and yet you prefix your comments with 'What do you know? What personal experience have you had?'. Boringal even explains that these are people from her own family. That said, you both make a fair point which is that not everyone who's an addict fits the stereotype of the junky thief/mugger/shoplifter/mugger.

I think that boringgal has entirely missed out the quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
