This is what I get for helping So I have these friends from HS that I've kept in touch with. They are a married couple and a few years ago meth broke them up. The husband is a full blown meth addict. The wife was like family to me and she'd write and I'd give her advice. Stuff like "Don't be around him until he goes to rehab," "Don't be around that meth head, they are so dangerous and unpredictable." She met with him one weekend and now she's hooked on meth. Now, she's showing him the emails like "Hey, look at what your boy said about you." Turning my advice against me. He didn't take kindly to being referred to as a meth head. But it's the truth. Truth hurt and now he's looking for me to fight. Yes, I have two drama queen meth heads looking for me over friendly advice I gave to her to console her in some way. I'm not scared, I'd crush him, but that's not the point. I don't want to deal with meth heads, period. I really don't know what to do.
call him and tell him to stay the fuck away from you. tell him you were trying to help him but he's beyond help. finish it off by saying someone's gotta shine your shoes in 10 years.
The only thing to do is go over to their place and do some meth with them. Then everything will be cool. barfo
That sucks dude. In this case, I don't know how much you can do. At this point, I think it'd be best to simply find a way to completely cut them out of your life. Even if they try to start shit with you, just stay away and keep it civil. Getting involved with shit like this is not something you ever need to do. Or, if you really feel like being the good guy here, you could try and get them to turn their lives around and try to get them to realize their problem and get them in to rehab. Find a way to get them to realize what kind of horrible things their doing to their bodies by using meth. If they don't want to hear something like that, I would just give up on them. People like that aren't worth having around anyways.
Forget about what? It's not like these people sleep or anything. I think the moral of the story is discontinue making friends who reside in trailer parks. Although with the economy the way it is, it might be a golden opportunity on making some commission off a dental plan you can offer him. He'll need it fairly soon.
Forget about talking to him? I hope they just leave him alone he doesn't need to waste his time with them.
Well wasting time is the last thing a meth head will do. They are amongst the most efficient beings on the planet, even more so than beavers and the guys who work at Microsoft.
It's a messy situation I really don't want to deal with. In HS we were mutual friends through basketball. They come from a good background. But some people lack common sense when it comes to trying out drugs. I'm the type of guy that gets along with everybody. Not a mean bone in me. Never been a fight in my life and now I have some crazy meth heads looking for me to start shit. When he first took off on his meth binges I'd take her and her two kids to the park or we'd walk around down town. To get their minds off of the turmoil and now she, who I helped a ton, is siccing' her drugged out BF on me over friendly advice for her own good. It's pretty crazy. All of this happened out of the blue.
I know, why do people try just one drug? Don't swear your allegiance to the first or second drug you try, try them all and then decide which one best fits your needs. Well obviously not, you can't get along with meth addicts for some odd reason. Maybe you need some sensitivity training or something, or just watch some MSNBC. That should do the trick. Isn't turmoil an ingredient in meth? Definitly get your mind off that stuff, along with battery acid and bleach. Stay away from all.
^ Sarcasm aside, it's pretty serious. The guy is a drug dealer with weapons. Over ADVICE! Such a weird and stressful situation.
Well, advice is free. And I would strongly advise you to have nothing to do with them. I know it's tough if they were good friends, but right now the best you can say is they are not "themselves". This is not smoking an occasional joint. It is bad news and you really need no part of it. If you really feel you might be in danger, inform the police. It's not being a snitch to protect yourself. Otherwise, don't reply to emails or texts, if they call you are busy, don't visit. If they ask just say you don't have much in common any more. No need to preach.
If that's the case, you have to go to the cops. Sometimes jail time can be the best thing for an addict. And if he has drugs and (I'm assuming) illegal guns, he's going away for quite a stretch.
I'd call the cops. Particularly if the chick has kids. If the cops get involved, maybe they can help the kids out. Even aside from all the emotional problems a kid can have with a meth-addicted mom, if the boyfriend is dealing, he could also be manufacturing. If he's manufacturing, it can involve a lot of really nasty chemicals kids shouldn't be anywhere near. Besides, what's the worst that can happen if you rat them out? They feel betrayed and threaten to go after you personally? They're already there.
Seems like a perfect situation for police to handle, instead of yourself. Not worth getting hurt or killed over some meth head. Since you have obviously done nothing wrong, call the police. Tell them everything that has happened, and allow them to take care of the problem. That's what they're there for.
+1, it sounds like a shitty situation before you brought up the fact this chick has kids but that is something totally different.
