No matter the advise you give an addict he will never change until he comes to a POINT.

That point is where he realizes he is getting finished mentally and physically, then he will advise himself by himself.

Somehow, he will know ppl are avoiding him, good opportunities are avoiding him. Then he will decide to stop. Until he decides to stop, no amount of advise or family meeting can help.

Now the next step is to cut off all the source and dealers. It is difficult but he should try.

After that, the next immediate thing for him to do is to change his location or get a rehab if he can afford. A place where he cannot have access to those toxic substances.

The good news is the body heals. It will take months but within those months he should take good food, fruits and make water his best friend, water is the best for detox.

In 4 - 6months of abstinence, changes will show, dead brain cells will revive, organs will start reviving, his body will come out fresher.

Drug addiction is real. But the addict must come to himself to get help.

Good day everyone.

Just as everyday come and go,I Just can't help it but keep thinking about how hard drugs has turned my friend to a complete junkie.

This dude was my primary school classmate and at a time ago we were even considered as best friends. Somehow along the way we got admissions into different higher institutions. At first during holidays when we returned home from our different schools,I used to noticed how strange he had become. Someone who used to be very robust suddenly emaciated and I knew it wasn't as a result of hunger because his family made sure he got everything he needed in school,unlike myself who signed MoU with sapa.

Fast forward to 2019,after graduation,it all got worse. And he made his smoking habit public to the extent that he smoked on the streets. That was when his elder siblings and I had to advise him, about the damages weed and other drugs he was taking were doing to him. But it all seemed every advice we were giving him were falling upon deaf ears.

What really broke our friendship was when he was trying to lure me into weed. That was when I started to avoid him. The adage which says --"Show me your friend and I shall tell you who you are" kept ringing in my head and tho I did everything to talk him through,out of that bad habit but he wasn't getting any of it.

Just last week,when I paid my dad a visit,I saw this dude, now looking so unkept and rolling with street urchins. I only waived him and went my way.

Please guys out there,let's say no to hard drugs because it doesn't have any good effects on the human body.

You did the right thing by cutting off the friendship.

I had a childhood friend like that too. We lived in the same compound, grew up together and were considered siblings.

Though he was always hot headed growing up but we were fine.

We grew up in a ghetto in Ajegunle where at a young age we watched bros smoke weed and even send us to buy weed for them. It was normal at the time but growing up I think that experience changed us in different ways.

Some of our friends took to alcohol, cultism and drugs. About 3 became mentally unstable and we stayed far from them


Then in 2010 during the rise of night clubs and lounge in the area, I noticed that this friend of mine started frequenting them and even visiting local brothels. I wasn't the type that goes and stay out late at night so I wasn't going with him.

Fast forward to 2011 dude was already drunk. Taking huge number of alcohol on a daily then in 2012 cross over he started his smoking habits. That was when I decided to give him space.

Fast forward to 2018 our worlds and reality changed. I left the area and when I returned I met a different person entirely.

Joined cult gangs, always partying, drinking and smoking. Even on social media all he does is to talk about sex and tag me to it.

The one that broke the camel's back was when he started making statements that sounded like envy... Statements like " you will have money you will not bring it for us to go and flex it", " mugu drink, no dey do like Jesus" then knowing fully well I just got married he said "mugu this your wife go sweet o"

At that point I knew our worlds and reality has changed. It was no longer healthy for me to be around such person anymore. So my rent was still reading, infact I recently renewed the rent but I had to pack out of that environment entirely, changed my SIM, deactivated my socials and cut off every form of communication with him.

Since 2019 till date I haven't seen or heard from him and it's cool with me

How can someone make you feel bad for doing good? I was in your friends position once, not drugs just alcohol ,but I never made my friends who made it feel bad, I prayed for mine, took life on and small small man don dey see light. I still have have one guy like that, I know he feels jealous of the fact that I have left the trenches but we were both in there together.

I vividly remember when I suggested we both go to school and change our lives,Baba chop him jamb money twice, I jejely followed through, now I get one small government job, him wan dey come dey do anyhow, Baba I bone am.

See wetin him dey talk about your wife, your man broke the bro code for real, thats violation right there. Baba as you turn your back ,e good.

All I am saying is that it's normal to have survival's guilt but bone any man wey wan bring you down under.

Leave those story of show me your friend, I will tell u who you are, if he is truly your friend, this is the best time to stick with him, staying away from him, won't help but will make it worst, you trying to help him does not make you be like him. Let you and his family put heads together to help him.

I have had the experience also, with my younger sister who is supposed to be roaming the streets today due to drugs, but with the help of family, shes perfectly okay now.

Most people u see roaming the street today, many would have been save if family and friends help, some will tell you, is witchcraft, he or she put hand for bad thing, no matter what , try and help

What if you have an addict confined at Yaba.After spending time on rehabilitation he returned home with you to continue his treatment and have to go through regular doctor's appointment for like 8-9 month.

Have you witnessed an addict withdrawal? All through the 8-9 months,he was indoors,dull,weak and unable to engage in meaningful conversation for 5 minutes. All he did was eating ,his memories was failing him.i was questioning myself why i got involved,because i never believed he was going to be normal again.

It was suggested he should start working to get him fully alright through interactions. In 2 weeks of working he became fully conscious of his past memories. I became the most happy,my fear of how i would be tagged if he did not become normal again dissappeared

In 4 months of working he resumed the drug intake. Based on my fears,going to yaba again was out of it for me,but if his people (wife's relatives) want to take him there again i will provide the funding.So they resorted to spiritual homes and I provided the funding. This did not stop his cravings

I got involved because he started living with me from jss1 and attended the same school with my children. Do you know how much I have expended on this boy on rehabilitation.Am I now a bad person or not helpful if I asked him to leave my home after he stole from me.

This is someone that don't steal but I am tired and afraid of what next he might device since he now steals. So he has to go

You have tried your best as an individual, after the rehab , he still went back to drugs, then , he is not ready to help him or her self, thou its God, as for the case of my sister, she returns to taking drugs, but with support and continuous advise, she was able to stop totally, but all the same, it was God
