Be there for them and try to do something together you'll both enjoy. They'll have to make the descision to stop...but at least you can help. Rated: +1Vote for this!

dollyd	Posted Jul 21st, 2009 at 7:19PM easier stated then done,simply because you want that person to avoid drugs,but what does THAT PERSON,WANT FOR THEMSELVES,they have to WANT to stop-i no I am a recovering addicit of 19yrs,and i did program after program,probably for ever member of my family-only to return to drugs,this time I tried being clean for DOLLY(thats me)and i have remained clean,,== Rated: +1Vote for this!
rubythursday	Posted Jul 21st, 2009 at 11:39PM You can't control another person, if that's what you are asking. "How do I avoid someone..." I'm not sure what your question is. Do you want to avoid this person or do you want him/her to avoid going back to drugs? Save yourself a lot of grief and accept early in life that you are not responsible for what another human being chooses to do. As a friend, brother, etc., you can speak your mind, but their choices are their own. Rated: +1Vote for this!
