What in hell do I do now I find a person close to me is for all intents 'hooked' on amphetamine, has been since arouind July, I noticed a change thought she was going a little 'off'.

I found some she hid last night and I flushed it, must have cost a fair bit there was a lot.

She's acting all odd today, suppose it bites when you cant find what you need.

Dont know what to do, she wont admit it to me, she told a friend and freind told my daughter, ive talked to them both together, now I have a picture of the situation.

She on the other hand denies all, but that went south when I found her stuff, did not confront her she would still have denied, I just found and flushed her stuff.

I swear if she was male I would break her in half, I have wondered why she was so short of cash the last few months when she had no reason to be.

Im so :mad:, I despise drugs.
 
depends on your relationship to her

i dont think finding and flushing her drugs is the solution though

its not dealing with the problem, this could only make it worse

sounds like she needs help and i dont think a stern hand is the type of help she needs
 
The problem with trying to help someone who is hooked on a drug, is that you can only really help them, if they want help.

A quiet chat might be in order, asking them how they feel about it, if you can help, what they need for help and such. But it's a difficult situation for you to be in.

I have friends who I very much believe are hooked on certain things (recreational drugs), however it's a waste of time talking to them about it, as they don't want to come off it. Without being with this person 24/7 you'll never stop them from going to find that next hit.
 
You can do one of two things;

Tell them you know, that you are willing to support them to come off it and be there for them.

or

You tell them to stay away until they are willing to do one.

You cannot force someone to stop taking drugs, they have to decide they want to and then they need people around them to help support them. Ultimately its an individuals choice to take drugs and i would help and support anyone I knew to stop taking them. Likewise it is my choice to have nothing to do with people who take drugs.
 
hilly is right, if she doesn't want help then nothing will make any difference

but talking to her and letting her be open and honest about how she feels is good idea

You actually did this? I thought that this kind of crap only happened in films and US TV dramas... :confused:

You might not approve of her drug habit, but why does that give you the right to destroy her property? You could have landed her in a lot of trouble.

You should talk to her, instead of raging about it and complaining to the internet. How you feel about "drugs" has no bearing on the situation. Try to get her help, or just keep out of it. Antagonising the situation helps no-one.
 
If it is speed, it's particularly tricky to get off of due to the low comparative costs compared to other more addictive stuff like coke.

I lost touch with a whole group of friends back in the late 90s due to speed, yuck!

But seriously, thats a tough situation to be in. Its worst when they deny doing it. Hope you get it sorted out eventually.

Talking to her is the only thing I can think of. If you try and catch her doing it or something then she will come cleanbut if she doesnt want to be caught or stop then theres only so much you can do.

Yes, not a good move to just flush the things she's dependant on down the loo. If they're expensive she could end up in all sorts of problems trying to get the money to replace them. She needs help to slowly stop taking them, somehow she needs to be convinced she has a problem.

Andi.
 
Well I found out who the dealer is, his names getting dropped to a mate in the force, so as it go's im trying to first make the stuff inacessable to her, she can't go out and get it this dumbell has been taking it to the neighbour, woman next door with less than perfect reputation, I cant stand her.

Sorry but you are going about this in totally the wrong way.
