Yeah I think the hard part for me is that I’m a very hands on person. But I just have to discipline myself that it isn’t up to me reach out to him to offer solutions.

He has his own journey to go through and it would be selfish of me to interfere.

It’s a hard line for me to walk between helping and enabling. So I’m trying to stay out of it unless he comes to me and let the relationship develop between him and the sponsor.

What’s your breakpoint with him? I suggest you draw a mental line in the sand with him if he continues to use. You gotta look out for number one, after all
I don’t think he was doing meth. I think just party drugs like Pepsi, k, and 2c.

I don’t think he even has momentum with alcohol. Just party drugs and sex.

But if he called me from jail I would not bail him out.

But yes I am trying to brace myself that this could all be manipulation and I can’t fall into that

Giving another update since misc was down for two weeks.


He was in good contact with his “Sponser” for about a week calling her all the time and eventually met her for a second meeting where he figured out she was fatter than her Instagram pictures and dropped her immediately lol.

He’s also for sure a sex addict.


So he stopped going to any meetings, doesn’t think he needs a program or Sponser or anything. It was all pretty much BS.

He’s been hitting up everyone for money and no one is really giving him anything any more as far as I know.

Everyone is basically shutting him out and sick of him at this point.

I talked to him again and basically told him if wants to get help that I would try to be there to help him but I can’t really do anything else for him and definitely can’t give him money.

So everyone way pretty much right that I should just cut him off, but I didn’t really lose anything trying to help and glad I at least made an effort.

Everyone is basically at the point where we realize he just has to hit whatever his rock bottom is and there’s nothing we can do.


Drugs are a hell of a drug
