I am sorry to say you can't. The only one that can make them stop is the person who is addicted. I know this from personal experience, I am addicted to cocaine--I haven't used in over a year, but even though I am clean I am not foolish enough to think that I can ever use again. Once an addict always an addict. I don't know who the person that you are referring too is, whether it be you or someone you love, I just wish you all the best because addiction in any form is very hard to overcome--but remember it CAN be done--I am proof of this. Good luck to you and God bless.

I smoked for 7 years everyone tried to get me to stop but i loved it only because it helped my depression and made me not think so much but as years went on i did nothing and let things go it has messed up everything i ever wanted to be cause it made me lazy and sleep all the time.you should get more involved with him go hang out and eat with him let him know you care and show him pictures of what it can do to your lungs.If that does not work then put your foot down tell him he will stop and you will know cause you can buy home drug test at wal-mart or drug stores.You must not give up or he will get up hie future and could end up in jail or as well as the cops coming to your home for a search if some neighbor calls.There is hope just try hard.It takes time to get over the withdraw but he can do it!

I've known of a person personally who killed his own wife because he told her to hold his money and not give it to him when he asked so he wouldn't buy drugs. She didn't and she's gone. I grew up around many people that used and are still using today over 20 years. There is nothing you can do but save yourself and walk away. More than likely, you've been telling them to leave it alone and they know the consequences. It's up to them. Don't be a victim and get your heart broken watching them kill themselves. THEY HAVE TO WANT TO STOP! Then you can help them by offering them information on different treatment programs. But until they want help, there is nothing you can do.

the first thing you need to do is pray, and ask God to guide you and give you direction on a sound thing to do. your second good thing was asking for help from your yahoo family. Talk to your mate and remind him in order to stay clean you must stay away from people, places, and things that relate to your old drug habits. Next you should try and remind him that these were the same friend that were with him in his addiction and three years later they are still there. Have him to revisit his past mentally, than look at his present too see how far God has brought him. Lastly, stay supportive he may be at a vulnerable point in his life, try to help keep him focused and away from the bad influences. Sometimes we do not see out of the corners of our eyes that something may be approaching, that is why you walk by his side. keep your head up and your eyes open.

You need to tell her again how you feel about doing drugs. And if she still doesn't listen then you need to get rid of her. Tell her that if she decides to stop this stuff and get help then maybe you two could get back together. She's only going to bring you down if you continue to be w/ her. Possibly give her an ultimatum. . .tell her that if she doesn't get help then you two can't be together at all not even as friends. You don't need to be around this sort of thing, because your making wise decisions by staying away from that mess. Give her some facts about drug and alcohol abuse also when you have this talk, maybe if she here's the facts from someone who cares she'll want to change. Good luck buddy I hope things work out well for you.

Do it now while you're still young enough to "start" over.  If he hasn't changed now, he never will, even if he quit the drugs.  Drug users are self centered and blame the world for their problems.  Get out now.

Have you tried contacting a local clinic or rehab center for advice? Maybe attending a Narcotics Anonymous meeting?\n\nUnfortunately, I don't think you can force anyone to do anything they don't want to do. Your addicted loved one must want to quit themselves. Also, you should look at ways you may be enabling their addiction: lying to employers about their absences, being ok with them staying up all night, giving or lending money to pay bills. \n\nI was addicted and eventually became homeless. I called my parents asking for help, if I could live with them. It was the hardest thing for them to do, but they said no. I lived in a residential hotel for awhile and they paid my rent but gave me no more money. I had to eat at soup kitchens. Eventually I managed to find a job and work myself out of the situation, but it was very hard.\n\nNow I own my own home, own a car, have 4 cats, a pool, and a good job. No more meth for me.

The easiest way is to stop doing drugs. However there is a product on the market that is supposed to purge your system of any THC or whatever you have in your system. My friend who's a pot head said that Green Tea also works. I wouldn't know, so I'm just going on what she said.

I am a recovering heroin addict 19 months sober. Anyhow usually when you suspect someone you are close to is using your RIGHT. You know his behavior and patterns better then anyone. On the other hand i found drug related caps needles cotton spoons and stuff FOR MONTHS in my house in my coat pockets or old purses sometimes that stuff lingers after you are done. I use to do coke to but i never cared for it like Heroin i still found straws and rolled up paper after i had stopped using. You have to relise he can't promise not to use again he's A ADDICT!. You can ONLY take care of how you handle his issues. You can't make him go to meeting you can go get support for you. He may never stop untill he loses everything including YOU. It has to be his choice you can't want it or force it you'll fail every time. There are boards online where you can get a better answer from recovering addicts and family of addicts. LOOK UP THE ADDICTION RECOVEDRY GUIDE online they have a family message board and a coke board i think it would help you a lot.

If you can afford it... start doing random drug screening on him/her. Tell them that this is something that needs to be taken care of. But do not tell them that you will be doing the drug screening...

Your father is going to have to want to quit. When dealing with addicts nothing you do or say will convice an addict to stop unless the addict believes that their addiction is a major problem and cares enough about their life to want to change. Usually they have to believe and be fearful of the fact that they are going to die soon if they don't stop using. That is what it takes. Its called hitting rock bottom and it is never pretty. All you can do is express the fact that you want him to be in your life as long as possible and you will not do anything that will enable him to continue his addiction. That means not buying him cigarettes, etc. But it almost never works. They have to want it.

I treated addicts for many years.  Pot is the number one drug people seek treatment for addiction for.\n\nYou need to seek treatment.  That's key.  Your best bet is to seek treatment from a doctorate level psychologist who specializes in addiction.\n\nYou should seriously consider mysteriously disappearing from your current social group.  The number one problem with addicts trying to quit is the people who hang around them either unconciously or (more usually consciously) sabotage their attempt to treat their addiction.  No addict wants to hear this but the people around you probably are not nice people and they want to keep you addicted for sinister reasons.  They will lie, extort, manipulate and otherwise coerce you to keep you addicted.  I cannot tell you the number of people who are shocked to find this out about the people they call friends.  A great many people feel rightly betrayed by what these people do when they tell them they are quitting.  Likely, this is going on in your life right now but you don't know it.  Understand that everyone else who is an addict has the same reaction.  Well, that's not me, not my friends (or not my lover or spouse).  When they discover differently...well, it hurts.  It hurts ALOT.  But, it's something you must face if you want to be free of drugs.\n\nThe best way to handle this is to disappear and start fresh somewhere else.  Have a new rule in your life....no drug users allowed.  Also, anyone who in any way evidences a pro-drug mentality must be kept out of your life.  I can't emphasize this enough.  This is probably the number one issue keeping you addicted.\n\nIn choosing a new place to live, find the lowest crime rate area in a place where mostly conservative people live.  You want to make it next to impossible to find a drug source or people who have pro-drug sentiments.

To get off any drug you have to WANT to do it, mind, body and soul. If it is a prescribed drug, follow the label and decrease instead of cold turkey, if you can do the cold turkey safely and you have the emotional support from loved ones to see you through, then God Bless them and you.\nIf you are addicted, most likely, the addiction will always be there, so instead of taking the drugs, fill up that moment with something else that is positive and good to your well being\nYou are worth it. You already took the step to ask the question, and you had to be brave to do that, so use that bravery that resides deep down inside you and save your life. You are loved by people who will help you if you only ask.\nGod bless and good luck.

You can't fix his problem. A drug abuser has to stop on their own. You just have to do what is best for you and your child. LEAVE! If you don't have the money to get your own place, do you have family or friends you can turn to for help until you are financially stable? It's time to swallow your pride and ask for help. Good luck.
