My friend is a crackhead

I stopped hanging around with him about 15 years ago because he was a crackhead.
Well about 4-5 months ago I ran into him through Facebook.
We ended up meeting and hanging out quite a bit.
He told me he was done with that stuff, and he hasn't had any crack in over a year.
Well about 2 months ago he relapsed and I felt compelled to help him out. I even went down to the crack house and dragged his ass outta there.
I brought him back to my house and took care of him for a couple of days.
He stayed off of it for another 2 months until recently he's been smoking it every chance he gets.
He's spent in the last 3 weeks probably over $20,000.
In fact he's called me up in the last week to loan him money. I've refused due to the fact he doesn't have any collateral.
I loan people money all the time, as long as you have collateral.
I think I'm gonna wash my hands of this, and forget about him for good.
Has anyone else lost a friend due to them being a crackhead.

20 grand in 3 weeks. what is he smokin an oz a day? he would have to be.
I know he had over $15,000 sitting in his safe at his house.
Plus, I know he had like $5,000 in his savings account.
The guy is broke, he doesn't have a nickel to his name.
I have no idea how much he's smoking. But I do know when he's on a binge, he smokes until he coughs up blood.

i havent lost friends to drugs because we all just smoke weed but dude,

you can only help someone who truley want's help for themselves.
talk to him and listen to the things the guy is saying, be on guard because full blown addicts can be some shady motherfuckers. after talking to him for a while you should be able to tell if he wants help or not.

if he truley wants it send to a intensive inpatient program where hopefully he will kick it with help from family and certain friends..non users.<key

I smoked Crack a couple times and I can easily see why people get addicted.

That shit makes you feel great for about 10 minutes, then you want more. Tell your friend to get the help he needs or get the fuck out of your life. Seriously that crack is waaaaaaaaay fuckin whack. Even talking about it makes me want to smoke it, HORRRIBLE DRUG!

my cousin was hardcore, stole his mothers jewelry, his father found him under the boardwalk smoking, sleeping in his car all the crack head stuff, put him in rehab a couple times, the last time actually stuck and hes been clean for about 15 yrs now, has a great family and everyhting we all could possibly want, rehab not meaning the stuff on VH1 for a month, i mean a therpudic community for 18months, if you care that much for him, his friends if he has any that dont get high and family need to do something and drag his ass to a TC, 3% of people who try to clean up succeed, THREE percent, so if hes that close to you then he;s worth it, you may save a life, if his family washed thier hands, that means he has nothing to lose and he will never get clean, i dont want to preach, but they need to fear losing something, and need major support, they cant be around anyone or anything that reminds them of those binges, needs NA and hang around people from these prgrams, i know up close and personal, and used to go to NA with my cuz, its a total lifestyle turnaround, and some people after a few months or years of being clean think they can have a drink here and there and think they wont be out smoking rocks later that night, i dont drink much at all, but if you told me for the rest of my life i cant have a cold beer, i would freak out, its a shame cus where im from i seen a ton of good people go from top of the world to disgusting, close people too

damn bro.... you gotta smoke alot of rocks to cough up blood:shock::spew:..... i used to have a crack problem years ago... and you would be suprised how many of them spend thousands a week on it... but if your friend is smoking like that, he needs to get help asap, or you need to be done with him. he is only on the road to death or prison in his current state.... that being said, he has to put himself in rehab or else it will never work; gotta be doing it for himself and not for other people

sounds pretty fucking nasty dude. your right not to lend him money, collateral or not, don''t fund his habbit.

Fucks sake, for that much $ get some pure glass.

Make him watch Crackheads Gone Wild. If that doesn't deter you from smoking crack... nothing will.
