I'm drunk so I hope that this makes sense. I'm going to be blunt... I was close to a straight guy.. nothing sexual, but we were the closest of friends.. however he was into coke, and introduced (actually re-introducted) me to coke. Time moves on.. I have to get off coke. I end the friendship as a result of that decision. I thought it would easy becoming close friends with someone else... it is not. I've tried since June to become friends with this person, and he can't even acknowledge me. As a result I'm feeling pretty friendless at the moment, and I'm regreting ending the previous very close friendship. Perhaps I'm just being pathetic, and I'll come to my senses in the morning when I'm sober. Sorry for the rant.     | ||

I think you made the right decision. I was in your shoes a while back, and this guy was really into it. I had to get away from him!! He had a business and was loosing everything because of Coke! I'm much better off these days. You will be too! You have friends here!! | ||

Come on Johnny, think about it, OF COURSE you made the right decision!! who wants to be friends with a crack head?? next thing you know, your a crack head and do nothing but coke all day. If he's being an asshole to you then fuck him, you don't need friends like that. Good for you for ending it when you did. ------------------ | ||

Sorry to be this way in a time of need, but you guys and gals need to either learn self control or moderation!!! And don't get up my ass about you don't understand shit, because I have been in the same situation. I still have my friends and a few of thems still smoke dope, snort whatever, and drop acid, but I realized I had to slow it down in order to survive. I did not give up my friends and I also do not try to make them feel bad about what they do. No I can say that I have asked a friend that pawn something to get a bag if he was in to deep. I only ask once! Close friends, well I have about 6 good friends and 3close friends and we have all know each other over 15 years and some for 20years. I am 29. I say call the friend, but use you mental strength. If you know that drinking is going to cause you to snort around him, then don't drink. Yes is sound boring, but you have to do what you have to do. I personal feel there is nothing wrong with drug use as long as the person you are hurting is only you! | ||

Friends......I know this is going to sound really fucking corny, but it has been my experience that I really only need one TRUE friend, and that is my partner in life: my husband. Yes, I have had close relationships w/people over the years, but ultimately most have disintegrated for one reason or another. I could go on and on about the reasons and they are varied. Brotha Johnny, I know how painful it is when a friendship ends (One of the friendships was with a couple. Both the husband and wife were close friends of ours - rare - they were also godparents to my second daughter. Now she doesn't have godparents, not the end of the world, it just makes me feel like we failed her in some way for making such a poor choice.). If this friend is into coke and you find it difficult to be around him because of it - you gotta let it go, plain and simple. Everything happens for a reason. My mama always said, "If you can't surround yourself w/people that bring you up, DO NOT hang with people that bring you down!" ------------------ | ||

I fundamentaly disagree with BIKINIMOM on this subject, but that is why the world goes round. We should respect everyone's opinion, and choose our own path. Oh and MOM, I was kinda disappointed that I only got one word on my pic thread Solid. That is a good word. I know I am not the best looking in those pics, but I was hoping to get something to the effect "damn you are huge!", but guess that is okay, because that is what the girl I was with last night before going to work said to me. I am still flying the big head after that! hehehehe! | ||

Brotha Check - did you see that "solid" was in caps? Solid: firm, strong, substantial. How many people do you know who fit this bill? By my standards, not many. (I mean that sincerely.) Also, I know you are one STRONG MOFO - unfortunately that is not measured by a photograph. I am very happy to agree to disagree w/someone like you, brotha! ------------------ | ||

i'll be your friend johnnyO...we can watch dawson together.... i have lost several friends to drugs, actually lost as in died...others just appear dead...i think you will find that they arent the people you once knew...and they won't ever be until they sober up...whenever i come in contact with friends still actively using, i feel two things....sad, that they don't know the happiness and health i have found; and overjoyed, that i am not in that endless cycle of crap... you probably deserve a better friend than him, he really only has one true friend right now...that's his precious blow.. peace. | ||

hehehehehe! Thanks B-MOM, you know I have a big ego that needs to be fed or it is easily crushed(some people call it insecurity, I like ego, both are bad I guess). Thanks, and I also feel that you have to be able to agree to disagree with your friend like you said. If not you will be very limited in your ability to have a quality friend. | ||

I'm awake! Bacardi doesn't give me a hangover so I'm feeling pretty good. Thanks for the support, last night I was feeling sorry for myself. I do know I made the right decision, but it still hurts. I miss the companionship. I still have my partner of 11 years, but I sure miss the "boy's night out" and doing things independently of the husband. Check I'm envious you know people for so long, I'm the same age as you (well birthday is next month) but besides my partner the longest is two years. Yes, I do have friends here... and I have NEVER seen dawson, it's probably just an eyecandy show. | ||

Let me go into the details of how the friendship ended..it's not like I told him to stop snorting and I'll be friend sort of thing... His brother's birthday party was on a Sat in April. I was asked to provide 3 8balls for the party (i'm paying for this mind you). I purchase the 3 eights on Fri.. I binge.. awake all fri night.. continue into saturday morning.. ran out around 4pm on saturday. I crash... don't go to the party Saturday night.. and we never speak again. I attempted to email him, and call... no response. I stopped trying to contact him. Later that week the realization sinks in that I lost a friend because of what I did, and I stop using coke. So it was more a mutual ending I guess. | ||

3/8ths of an oz... not 3/4 oz! And i managed to do that all by myself using various methods.. but the 3 eights were supposed to be for a party of 10 people or so. |
