Daima has some really good advice as do a lot of the others. My advice is, whatever you decide to do, DO SOMETHING!!!!

I lost my best friend, one of the best people I've ever known, to heroin addiction. He lost his job and his wife moved out and took their son. The last time I saw him I had gone over to his house and he was there with a bunch of other junkies. He was a totally different person . He was saying that he had no money for food or the rent. I was going to loan him a few hundred when somebody showed up and sold him some more heroin. Seems he did have some money but only for the Important stuff. A few days later I tried to call him but the number was disconnected and when I went by his house he was gone. That was 6 years ago and I haven't seen him since. Neither have any of our other non-junkie friends.

My big mistake was that I didn't do anything. I took his word when he said he had it under control and always assumed that his wife would whip him into shape.
