My best friend
My best friend is online. He struggles with alcohol, weed, benzo, tobacco and adderall abuse (as far as I know). Sometimes he does cocaine or acid. It's bad enough that he ended up in the hospital with scars on his heart and struggles with psychotic episodes. I'm trying to be there for him as much as possible but it's hard.. It's good to have someone I can relate to but it hurts to see him hurt. I want him to get better but he isn't surrounded by many that could provide quality help irl. Not personally speaking. How can I help more?
