Cocaine

[StevieB1980]

I recently found out at a party that one of my best friends has taken/snorted cocaine on a few occasions (that I know of hopefully not more than that but can't be 100% sure as I am hardly watching every move she makes) and I am really worried about it.
I am not casting asperions on anyone here who does take cocaine as I don't know enough about it....it's just I have never snorted cocaine in my life (despite my curiousity as to what it's like to take and the high you get from it) as it scares me because of overdosing,it's addictiveness and side effects like paranoia.
Any advice on what to do???

I don't want to take it just don't know what to say to my friend to make her stop....I have tried just still think she is taking it on occasion.

If she’s not hooked (unlikely imho) , a friendly talking to re the dangers of becoming addicted may do the trick .

Dunno how old she is or how long or how much how often she’s been taking it , occasionally or more

regularly .. dunno if she’s at the stage of ‘ah sure if it’s there why not’ , or she’s at the stage of pursuing it ,

choosing to hang out w people based on if it’s available or not , dunno if she’s at the stage of buying it

herself , ....of course must keep in mind that even if she’s just doing it at parties , nothing is for ‘free’ !!!

I hope she’s just dabbling in it for her sake , and your ‘talking-to’ would bring result xx

Honestly , I doubt it , but hopeful .

May want to consult a counselor specializing in substance dependence .

Presumably this escort, sorry friend, is an adult and is responsible for her own decisions, be they good or bad.

Why do you feel somehow responsible for her?

Yes it is her own life I am just worried for her that's all she isn't an escort for the record.

She is just dabbling in it and only takes it at parties as cocaine is at most parties these days....she has never bought any herself thankfully.
True nothing is for free and the guys take it with her just so they can have sex with her as she is very good looking.
She is in 31 seeing you asked thanks Xx

She should know better at that age , but all humans are fallible xx

I’d worry for her ;

don’t know how close you guys are ;

: If you truly care , I’d recommend consulting a specialist counselor .

What I may say here may be of help — or not .

Do turn to a professional for advice ASAP if you can , if you want to help x

First to say sorry mate to hear your friend is going through a hard time in their life.
It can't be easy for them , maybe mixing with wrong people and thinking it cool to take drugs. When it clearly not and other people who care suffer around them , as it effect you and other to who try help them.

I have a good friend who drink a lot and take drugs. Sadly in their case like your friend , you can't tell them or force them what to do with your life. Believe me I try talking and offer to help them. I even spend a week in rehab with them as they didn't want to go in alone.
But sadly it didn't work and more likely to rebel against your advice if keep pressuring them.

It tough situation to be in as you watch them slowly destroying their life , you feel helpless and powerless to do something. I know the feeling as even now I keep in contact with them , as they say I am ok and I need no help , I don't need help and I have no drink or drug problem. They even get into row with you as they think people who are their friends should be happy for them and understanding. Problem lies Steve is they have to admit first they have a problem before they seek help and that lies the problem. Admitting it to you and other before they look for help.

Only thing you can do Steve is say to them , is I be always here as your friend and whenever you need me I am here for you anytime. But I am sad and concern about you also and don't want see you hurt and sad in life. You better then this and just want to see you happy in life. But don't like to see you like this , but 100% support you and help you if you ready and need it.
That Steve is important that they have your support always , even now if they taking drugs in their life and you 100% know it wrong. Just be there for them and keep encouraging them that they don't need drugs in their life. But don't keep pushing as it only make it worse. Sadly at moment little you can do as I to trying to help my close friend , but it heartbreaking to watch them go down that road which lead to heartache for all.

Good luck Steve and I really hope they turn the life around , as 3 years now and ongoing battle to which it affect everyone who know them.

nothing you will say will matter and if you persist in telling her to quit you will lose a friend, believe me, I know.

Had a few escort friends that are addicts, had a mate who was on it for 6 years but all you can do is be there for them through the bad times as there will not be many good ones

good luck with it

Very good advice mate as people think they know it all and say advice on what they don't know or what really going on what that person going through.

Their is a say mate people comment on what right advice to do , but nobody know what then people are going through. Unless you seen it and being there they should keep their opinion to themselves on anything they don't know properly. The people who been with them and know them a little , know what really happen.

They say truth eventually come out and like everything it will on what problem in their life.
I guess some people don't like to hear or see the truth. As people can be misinterpreted by other of harming them , when really they are trying to help that person in nice way without taken advantage of them or situation they see them in.

Sad indeed as they say unless 100% proof don't accuse or act upon. And if 100% proof then do all you can to help them.
