Any help is welcome

I met this guy and we clicked on a personal note right off the bat. We spend 6 consecutive weekends together from the time we met. Problem is I just found out (from him) that he uses crack. I have never been around or know a person that uses. I told him I couldn't see him anymore due to his use but would like to know what I could do to help him or help him help himself. Did he tell me this because he was looking for help? The sad part of the story is I spent alot of time with him and he really is a good guy on the inside. As a friend I feel I should help.

My advise to you is Run far and run fast AWAY from him. I only know from my experience with my sister. Which has been ongoing for 30 years +. You can want to help him but that doesn't help him. Walk away and he may seek help on his own. If he has you to "lift him up" why change? Ask youself - Do I really want to deal with this for the rest of my life? Because you will. The lies alone will break your heart. I noticed you posted in November 07 hopefully you have moved on to a healthier relationship. If so good for you. Good luck and Lord bless.

I know I'm new here but I didn't post "Lord bless" I said Lord Bless. Interesting that it would be changed though.

How about capital g (G), the number zero (0), capital d (D).
G*D, G%D, G^D, G~D, G>D, etc..works as well but,...dog backwards...NO
(the AT symbol will produce the word AT)

If that's what it came down to, referring to G0D as 'dog backwards',
I'd rather refer to one of His other names and call Him Lord.

Only he knows why he confided in you.
I would think he felt comfortable enough to do so.

In any case, there is nothing you can do to help him,
or, help him to help himself....only he can do that.

The best thing you did was to help yourself,
and distance yourself from the situation.

Six weeks/week ends is not a lot of time.
The only sad part of this story is that...
crack entered his life.

Helping Hand,

Thanks for the advise on G0D. I'm new to this forum thing and had no idea my words would be screened. I hope you didn't take offence to the dog backwards because I didn't mean it that way at all. I do believe He loves those creatures as much as I do and He wouldn't be offended. I was thinking this morning on the way home from school about other names for him and wondering if they would be changed too. Anyway, thanks for the tip.
