A friend of mine (closer to my sister, but I've known this girl forever) posted on Facebook about how she is sober now, and she now knows who her real friends are, and it makes her life so much better. I wanted to reply, to tell her the reason she never had real friends while using drugs. But I didn't want to bring her down off her "new to sober"-high.
It's important to point out that she was crazy with drugs. Like not just smoking, and tripping and thinking. She was drinking a lot, starting (maybe before then, but this is when I met her) when she was about 12 years old. Like heavy party drinking, and dating 25 year olds and shit. I'm assuming she had a "candy-kid" phase, and maybe even some worse drugs. And I'm almost positive she was a "Bar Baby" (REALLY into Xanax) for a while. Now she's around 20 yrs old.
But here was the reply I wrote, and didn't post (I didn't want to bring down her mood, or be a bitch by bringing up the past):
"This is why they say "If you're scared go to church". Not everyone can handle being thrown into the middle of a war, and that's what it is when you do anything classified as a drug. It's a drug war. You don't constantly try to get higher and higher on heavier and heavier stuff. And you don't look for friendship in war, friends are fair whether fans. You look for brotherhood. The guy that would take a bullet for you, and you for him. Not just the people that help you get high/drunk, because they want to get high/drunk too. Those aren't brothers or sisters, those are just friends. Even a Federal agent will try to get high with you for years, just to bust you in the end."
