You should only ever do drugs with people who have less of a problem than you do
Real
No but like, I'd imagine they might be less motivated to do more if they're just getting high by themselves and talking to a sober person you know?,
The other day I was hanging out with a friend who's a heavy drinker. I was hoping that by accepting his offers of shots that we'd kill the bottle and he'd end up drinking less, but he just went and bought another. But I don't think he would have drunk less without me there.
If they're only doing drugs as long as they have someone to do it with, then the answer is maybe. But chances are that's not the case, and you are not enabling them. Sometimes expressing how much you care about them, encouraging them lightly to have moderation, and keeping an eye out for them is the most you can do.
You're totally right, thanks. I think I was spiraling for a little bit
I'm sorry about your friend, alcohol is ironically an especially rough one
Obviously use your best judgment, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say these people are still going to be doing whatever they're doing whether or not GaveUp decided to come hang out. Social pressure is definitely a thing but just from your synopsis it seems like they're way past "recreational hobby" territory. I've cut people off because of their use and I couldn't in good conscience be around it anymore, at the end of the day it's whether you feel comfortable with it.
Yes of course, but harm reduction is a thing. I feel declining these social situations might be one of them? Maybe? I've no idea
