Without knowing your age it is difficult to advise you buy,you should go to alanon and their drug counterpart. Don't listen to ANYONE who advises you to turn him in to the Police....the courts are there to punish not to help the individual. If you want to email me off list I could put you in contact with some treatment centers or at least a place to start.
If he keeps any in his car, you could always tip off the cops an have him arrested for possession. He's get nice and sobered up in prison.
Try an intervention
hire a hit just to rough him up a little, eh?
if he gets out of line and threaten anyone or himself call the police and have him 302 and he will be admitted for 72 hours that might save his life,,,,
Snort up his cocaine while he's not looking.
Even if you could force him in to rehab it would not work if he wasn't ready to get sober. All you can really do is try to talk to him when hes not high and don't give him money. Eventually things will hopefully get bad enough for him that he decides it is time for rehab. Good luck.
yeah the 1st dude send ur own brother 2 jail[oops i drop my soap] lol
serious again:u she should slap him in the face & convince him he has an addiction!
try taking counseling or therapy! best of luck!
I've got the same problem, but money is a little tight at the moment. Maybe me and your brother can hook up, I think with my help, I can reduce the amount of cocaine he's using by at least half.
Hi
Im so sorry you are going through this. I have family members who have addictions, just not cocaine. I couldn't imagine that. You and your family seem very caring. Unfortunately, you try it once and you're addicted to it. So I've heard. I don't want to say this but, unless he wants help there's not much you CAN do. Unless you know he has it, you could call the authorities anonymously. I know this sounds harsh but, at least they would have a better shot at helping him. Perhaps contacting the police and telling them the same information you posted. I'm sure they could direct. If he's living at home, your parents could enforce rules. IE: he works so he has to pay rent, has to be in at a certain time, search him room and throw out paraphenlia. However, there's the downside he would live on the street and get worse. Your position is very hard. Please contact the above as a start. You can NOT save him yourself :) You will need that help.
Good luck dear xo
You can't help him if he won't help himself. He needs to come around on his own. Just keep an eye on him and contact authorities if he gets out of hand. Good Luck.
wat could help is if u show ur bro how they make cocaine. the environment is just sick and the components they use. and have someone talk to him.
He needs to hit rock bottom before anything will work.. It's the harsh truth. Try an intervention.
Well make sure your parents aren't giving him the money he can use to buy cocaine, and you could talk to your parents about doing an intervention.
you his friends and your family have to band together and confront him call rehab people to come and esscort him not force him but esscort him to rehab
He is the only person who can help himself.
