I haven't had a friend in a real bad situation, but I believe that it's their life and unless we're really close... it's their problem, they probably don't want you involved anyway.

I helped to stage my own intervention. After an emotional and medical crisis I contacted my family, admitted I needed help and let them assist me in getting it. Smartest thing I ever did.

I have been thinking about doing it, but because his addiction is soooo strong, and he is quite fit, i have a fear of him losing control, and it getting worse then it was before.. The one good thing i have learned is by watching the Dr's. There is a Vaccine for C***e abuse, but i would like to learn more about it before i deceide my next move.

I had one planned for me. When I saw it coming I was VERY angry, which is a normal reaction for an addict to feel. I ran from the meeting - but a few weeks later I realized that I did need to go to rehab. I wasnt confronted by a whole group but one close friend that I respected and trusted. An intervention with lots of people needs to be done with a proper drug councellor to mediate. Also, people who do a lot of drugs or have an addiction are not thinking clearly. I turned into a completely different person. Once you are clean your thinking becomes clean too. I appreciated everyones concern after the fact...no matter what, trying is better than sitting back and watching. The only outcomes of drug abuse is jail - or death.

Yes my nephew has developed an addiction to his computer game. He refuses to go to school.
About 3 weeks ago my sister asked me and my father to help encourage my nephew to enter a program to help him.
He is now angry with us but the hospital is gradually working to engage him into a regular life style.
I do believe it was and is the correct thing to do and am looking forward to seeing him healthy.
