I really enjoyed reading that.
Opiate addicts definitely look like they've had their soul stolen. Its quite sad. at least you know what you want out of life and that's all that really matters. Best of luck to your buddy though

Thanks, Malcolm.
I just needed to vent and thought many of y'all could relate.

I was just about to say I enjoyed reading that too. Not like I enjoy another mans sorrow. You have profound word to describe what you saw.

Met him about 4 years ago when I moved in with a friend and he was an existing roommate. I really hadn't seen addiction until then and've only become familiar with how it looks over the past year.
He was shooting dope, powder and meth back then, apparently. This was his low point. One of my best friends is a mutual friend.
Thanks for the compliments, y'all. The entire experience was pretty visceral.

You sound like an insecure hater. You're embarrassed to be seen with someone because of how they dress? What a dick thing to say. I don't think I like the sound of either one of you TBH.
You're definitely enabling him by giving him money/opportunities, and when he fucks it up you can thank yourself for that. I hope it makes you feel validated in your disdain for him though, at least then you will have an actual reason for hating him other than things that should be none of your concern as a friend.

Idk why you're so mad. He just seems upset that one of his good buddies is so deep into opiates that he doesn't even give a shit about the basics like hygeine and appearance.
Its hard knowing the real person that's trapped inside once the addiction takes hold and more often than not, you know you'll never get that old person back again.
Idk, I just really didn't view it as judgemental

It was an honest observation of the situation. Life isn't always pretty nor only one way, even if you hope for the best.

I gotta hand it to you, you handle criticism really well I've been there too, but I also know you shouldn't judge someone until you've walked in their shoes. If he is really your friend try to be patient with him. As you get older I think alot of people realize that people who they considered friends have changed, or haven't changed enough, and you don't enjoy being around them as much. Nothing wrong with that really, and you shouldn't feel obligated to hang out with them if you don't enjoy it.

Yeah, he totally screwed me.
Hell, I even spent a day at his place (father's place) waiting for something to "come thru" so as to be payed back.
That didn't happen, but his sad stupid junkie ass did a "wash" of his tickets, shot it up and went into convulsions or something. Lost control of his body, started screaming like a little fucking retarded bitch that he is. Apparently, his poor dad found him on the bathroom floor with his gear and spoon beside him. Dumb fuck is diabetic.
34 fucking years old.
Luckily, I had taken a trip into town when all this went down and heard about it on my return.
He didn't die and if he's telling the truth (yeah, junkie truth), he's been clean for 8 days now and "promises" to settle up with me.
Never trust a fucking junkie, especially a junkie without a job.

Try to get whatever he owes you back (probably not going to happen though) & never talk to the dude again until he gets off the dope & acts like a normal human.

Pretty much, Big.
Luckily it isn't going to break me not to get the money back. But just to be wrapped up with such a sad, manipulative and dishonest human leaves me feeling dirty.
I told him that when a person depends 100% on other people just to live (his father even pays his cell phone bill) and also lives that sort of lifestyle, he's playing Russian roulette. When you can't take care of yourself and those around you are forced to do it for you because you wont/can't, there may come a time when they're sick of you and you're completely screwed.
He replied with some line of excuses and promises that I've heard from him at least 3 times.

Yeah man. that must feel awkward being around him if you know he has wronged you in the past. I hope you get back whatever you let him borrow. It sounds like the drugs have just taken him over pretty much, unfortunately.

Yeah, they have. I thought he had his shit straight - which is why I was giving him an opportunity - but that was just another junkie lie.
Life lesson, though.
