Quit enabling your friend. Do NOT get her the drugs, do NOT allow them in your house, etc. It seems tough, but it is a great route to go. I’ve been in your situation, and when I was first told these things, I was angry. How was my sister going to get better if I wasn’t unconditionally loving? But it’s the truth, you have to be hard.

A web page? Try this one: http://www.focusas.com/Cocaine.html

And also go to www.google.com and search for “Cocaine Addiction” and you will have an endless resource …

… And yes, I’m going to say it. She NEEDS to be in rehab. YES YES YES. There is no way around it …. she might be mad at first, but trust me, she’ll thank you later.

Another resource that would be good for YOU is Co-anon.
Their web page: http://www.co-anon.org/
This is a group for FRIENDS and family of cocaine addicts … it will help YOU to understand. She doesn’t go … you go to the meetings and it will help you juggle your life as a friend of a cocain addict.
