If You Want to be Addicted to Heroin, You Will

I guess if you want to be addicted to heroin, you will. If you don't you won't...She's had several opportunities to go back. Of course with the help of her boyfriend she's staying on her suboxone and on course to a life without heroin. I tried to let her handle her friends but when she couldn't tell them to stop calling or texting...I called one of them.

I've known these boys since they were young children. They have suboxone prescriptions too. Of course they sell it or trade it for heroin. They are off and on again-not really making any headway. I called one of them and simply told him until he was clean that he was not to contact her. She was doing really well and she didn't need him to pull her down again. His parents are trying to help him...Its the people he's hanging out with. I told him I loved him, get back on the suboxone and that if he needed someone to talk to.... to call me. I also told him to stay away from people who use or sell...his so-called friends. So many kids are dying from overdoses in our area...its very scarey. I told him I didn't want to see him dead. I thought he was going to cry on the phone. What can we do to help these kids?

Tempted by Heroin

She's being tempted by two old friends to use. Thankfully, she has a boyfriend who is intercepting and putting a stop to it. It's actually horrible but her so-called friends who are still using are now starting to try to bring her back into the folds of heroin use. They have stopped using their suboxone and started using heroin again. I've tried to explain to her that they just want it to be the same as it was...everybody hanging out getting high. They are not her friends. She can't believe that they would try to hurt her. Its very hard for her to believe that they are actually not her friends. So far, she's still okay. Her boyfriend and I are making sure she's taking her suboxone. If she didn't have a boyfriend I don't know what would of happened. He is desparately trying to keep them away from her. They don't call our house because they were told not to call. Now they call her phone or text message her. Her father as well as her boyfriend's father have both confonted them. They told them to stay away from her. The strange thing is they just keep trying to get to her. They text message her and say "Hey, yo wanna get high?" It's ruthless. They won't stop. I really don't know what they're thinking. It's getting pretty bad. I think she's strong. I think she's weak. She wobbling.
