Have you ever tried to help someone addicted to drugs or alcohol?

I try to the point of your own judgment.By this i mean I try my hardest until the point where if you don't want to help yourself I'm not going to do it for you anyways then.It's wasting my time and their time, sometimes even though it's hard to say it, some people are just lost causes out there just waiting to waste your time. Some people just want you to beg them so they feel like they are powerful, it's actually wrong, stupid and ignorant. If I were you i would just try my best and go to the point that i stated earlier for you. Than You.....

Yes I did, but with no luck. It really depends on the person if he/she is ready to change his/her bad habits. There could only be one catalyst of change...thy SELF.

you can't make anyone see something they don't want to see. trust me. i dealt with this same problem with my very own mother for years. until one day i said enough. i told her i'm not going to have anything to do with you unless you are clean and sober. two weeks later she went to rehab. she got her life together and i was so proud of her!! all you can do is love her from afar. don't allow the drama in her life become her life. it sounds harsh and mean, but trust me it's the best thing for you.

I did help someone but that person was directly under our control and therefore I could get him out of his drinking habit though it was not that easy. Here you have someone who you are not in charge of and so it is definitely a problem.. One thing you can do is to somehow get her parents see her when she is in an inebriateed condition which I dont think you will find it difficult to arrange. That will be the first step. They will surely react and perhaps that will set the ball rolling. Good Luck.

When you have done all the possibilities to help her in your way and informing her families and seemed with no immediate action for your friend. Sad to say and admit but it may seem hopeless already. Unless there will an instance in those attached to her had served as a wake up call for them to face the reality that you are right. Maybe there is an existing family affair problem that is why they cannot imposed any for your friend. Giving her needs is the payment for their lacking attention to your friend. You have done your efforts and part as a true friend. Your moral support for her and guidance will be a big help. An open communication build up will help her realize things through you. Make sure she has confidence in you to tell what is really on her mind, fears and views. Give her most attention this time.
