Best friend on drugs, i'm trying to go clean, what do i do?

I say all of the above. You know it's for the best to stay away from him which is why you didn't make "hang out with him every day" an option.

I definitely think you should tell him that you can't hang out with him until he gets clean. Hopefully that will motivate him to do so by seeing your good example.

Phone calls and text sound like a possibility, but what if he starts talking about using? If you try that, do you have the strength to block that out and hang up or not respond? Maybe if you could use e-mail he would be less likely to talk about it.

Only you know how self-disciplined you are and I don't know the rules for cleaning up, so my best advice is to thoroughly think it through before you decide to contact him. Try to figure out what your mindset will change to when you talk to him/see him before you make your decision. Don't take any chances.I'm proud of you and I wish you the best.

I've been in the same boat, just with different drugs.

Idk how long you've been sober but the first few months of sobriety I wouldn't hang out with anyone who uses because its too easy to fall back. I had to cut contact with most of my friends for the first 3 months because talking about using was enough to get me anxious.

After you feel confident enough in yourself to stay clean i'd connect with the friend, just don't hang out with them when they are using or under the influence.

In rehab they tell you to permenantly cut ties with any user but I couldntt break these friendships I had for years. Honestly though you'll notice your friendship won't be the same, and you two will feel like you're drifting.

I hope all goes well, sobriety is a never ending struggle but its worth it.

Get MARRIED to him.

I think you know deep down that the best thing for your own sobriety is to stay away from him. If I were in your shoes I don't know if I could leave my best friend behind but thegypsysailor is right. This is a life or death situation for you. I pray that your friend is able to get help himself before it's too late but you can't let that be your burden. Good luck to you!

go to allpoetry and join the group "Out of the Tomb and Rising from Addiction". It's a support group for addicts.

First, you can't tell him you can't hang until he cleans up his act; that just won't do any good for either of you; he's a meth addict!
Second, this is a life and death thing for you; be a little bit selfish and LIVE!
Third, if he is truly a friend then he will do all he can to help you get clean, even if it means not seeing you for some time or until he dies, which we all know won't be long; he's a meth addict!
Forth, you know you can't help him, it would probably get you back in, not him out, there are others if he needs help; be a little bit selfish and LIVE!
Lastly, GOOD LUCK, and I admire you for choosing to get straight from meth. THE MOST DANGEROUS DRUG THERE IS!!!!!!!

If my best friend started doing something I thought he shouldn't I would force him to stop.
