Friend detoxing...?!


Question:

Friend detoxing...?

I have a very close friend that has made the wise decision to stop smoking pot. I'm very proud of him, but he's turned into a huge grump and feels very sorry for himself.
He thinks his life is mundane and boring now, it's hard to be around, but I want to be supportive. What ideas do you have to help keep him busy (he's already putting in overtime at work and overdoes it on the house work), and what to say so as not to bring him down? He doesn't have many other friends than me that don't smoke! Thanks for the input!


Answers:

That's tough. Really tough. If you want to help, I'd suggest just finding something that he is passionate about (music, art, writing, biking, etc.) and encourage him to further get into whatever that may be. If it is something you can do with him, even better! If he's just sitting around bored and feeling sorry for himself, I'd worry that he'd want to just go right back to his old life because this one isn't all it's cracked up to be. Just stay supportive and let him know things aren't that bad, his life isn't boring and mundane (hopefully!).
