Tell them you must have an important conversation with them. Then tell them you have a drug problem and as hard as you have tried you cannot break it. Obviously you need trained care. Good luck.

Drug Addicted Family Member?

Question by Blundt Cake: Drug addicted family member?
How do you help someone who refuses to help themselves, even when they are in/out of jail, homeless, jobless, in denial, and don’t think they have a problem???? What do you do? Especially if they call from jail saying they’re being beat up, and then when out on bail, they say they are sleeping on a park bench, wandering around, not eating?
But still say they don’t have a drug problem, they just need “help” (money, car, housing) and say they’ve only used drugs a few times in the last couple of months, like that’s a good thing.
(and this repeats year after year)
