I want to but don't want to sound lame. He's a full-grown man and has issues with drugs and used to bring me aound it and doing it in front of me. Well, after some time of giving my friend "tough love" sending him the message that I didn't want to be around it anymore, I gave him a *test* when I picked him up from jail. I knew what he wanted to do and was tempted to get some "stash". So, when I dropped him off at his place, I suprised him with some of my cigerettes. I know, unhealthy, but I didn't want to give him mony and that was all I had on me. I even told my friend that I was proud of him for waiting and looked at me like a dork.
He has other enablers now. I'm just happy that we are still friends even after that I don't enable him anymore.

To fully recover, he will need to sever ties with you....permanently.
Sure why not, who wouldn't be proud of a hard core drug user/ jailbird. As for him getting home, one of his other enablers could have picked him up or he could have taken the bus, walked, skipped or called a cab.If he can find a way to get his drugs, he can find a way to get home.
