I have a very close friend who I love. She’s struggling with addiction to weed, dust and alcohol. On Easter she took me to her moms house she promised me she wouldn’t get high than she asked me to borrow money and went and got high and then denied getting high. She’s always been there for me but I’ve decided that since I’m sober that I can’t be her friend anymore because she’s not ready to get help. How can I break this news to her or should I just ignore her phone calls. This whole situation is killings me inside

It’s a tough situation… but your sobriety is #1 and if anything or anyone gets in the way of that then u gotta make that tough call…. Back when I decided to get sober for the first time I made the tough choice of getting rid of friends of mine or still use and I grew up with these people but turned out to be the best decision I ever made

Make sure your mask is on before trying to help someone else.

I think you can be honest with her. It would be to both of your benefits if you could tell her that you need to take care of yourself, and that you need to distance yourself until she’s ready to get help. You don’t need to explain or justify yourself.

Let her know you love her but that you can’t be around that lifestyle. It’s a matter of survival. Love but set boundaries. In all honesty she’s unlikely to able to love anything but chasing her addiction. She will take you down eventually. You can’t save her. You can save yourself.
