neighbor has a substance abuse problem regarding illegal drugs in the last 2 days. She had recovered for 8 years. But when a so called friend of hers presented it in front of her she relapsed and started using again. Now she's been evicted because of it. She has to turn it around and only her. All U can do is listen and give them hugs and convince them they can do it again. You can't give them money, maybe a little food to keep them going. If you are able to, have them give you their acct. no's to pay for bills of prescriptions for blood presure meds or utilities. But no cash. So sorry to discuss this but it breaks my heart ! I want me some drug dealers in the worst way. I don't condone drug use but when someone is weak, and can't control the issue, it's the drug dealer itself and they don't care, they just want money. They are very friendly and make you think they are your best friends, players ! I sat on a jury for a drug dealers case. He had a rap sheet a mile long and I was raised around law enforcement. The officers I was raised around had more compassion for the user than for the dealer. It's heart breaking ! Sooo sorry to bring this up, but felt compelled to share it.
