Answer by Eric F
I dont but im a drug addict (recovered at this point). that sucks. I would emphasize that its ultimately his decision but that he has to choose it to keep his family and friends. Try not to judge him for it as he will be defensive already. Just mention a time when he wasnt high that you really enjoyed his company. Good luck to him and to your best friend.
