I had an ex- who went down that path for a long time, and ultimately found the peace to let it go. i hope that your friend does as well.

all i can do is be there when he's ready.

All you can do is be there for him. I know it's hard because you've recovered. I wish you all the strength in the world.

hug Stay strong and positive.

I also have a friend who I love very much struggling with addiction, so I know how difficult it is. But you know better than anyone - you can't keep people from going down their own path and learning from their own decisions - just be there when they need you and support only what you are capable of.

another hug for the road.
