RE: CURRENT SITUATION: What it's like to live next door to a meth addict. (VIDEO INCLUDED)
Ok, thanks for sharing. I gotta be honest:
- I couldn't watch the video and couldn't read past that point. I got the picture; unfortunately, it's a messy one.
- I wish I knew the answer, but I don't think I do.
- I have had some experience with drug addiction, leading all the way up to now. I'm on lesser substances (pot and booze) perhaps than this individual -- Nontheless, I know what it is like to: A. Be a quasi-functioning druggie. B. Be able to put on a sober face when the consequences are edging in, but then go right off the deep end as soon as nobody is watching.
I pray for you and your son.
I also encourage you to consider this man's pain and torment -- someone who uses meth as he apparently does, might really hate themselves and possibly hate life.
Although a massive challenge, this man might need a friend right now -- not cops. Maybe he needs somebody to try and hear him. IDK. I'm glad I got the perspective you shared so I can refrain from being belligerant at the expense of those already suffering.
❤️✌️🦋
After spending 2 years next to this guy, I can tell you we're way beyond that. I don't want to be his friend. A meth addict is not someone you "befriend".
Maybe friend is too strong a word. Sympathetic ear, perhaps. And it need not be you. Perhaps a trained drug interventionist? Do you know if he has family? Perhaps you could contact someone and inform them of how he is acting? I don't expect to have your answer, but I'd like to be able to know I tried. ❤️ Wishing you a speedy resolution to this long-lasting issue.
