edjr 5,731 Posted March 30, 2011 My friend who has a bit of a drug issue was over my house last night. He was going to do some painting for us, as I don't paint. He was there to see what he needed and how much paint etc. long story short. he was in my bathroom with the door shut and before he came out he made some fake coughing, moaning noises. I thought nothing of it, but I knew it was odd. my girlfriend texted me, she knew he was there, so she checked and her entire bottle of percs is gone, but the empty bottle is still there. She had 12 of them from an operation like a year ago, just saving them for a rainy day or for whatever. he knew we had them, because I had given him 3 a few weeks back. She saw them sunday night and no one else has been in the house. WWYD? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cbfalcon 824 Posted March 30, 2011 How good of a friend is he? If it's a really good friend, I'd say "WTF dude?". If he said yes, I'd tell him how pissed you are and that if he ever steals from you again, yall are done. If he says no, then you gotta drop him. If it's a so so friend, I'd simply tell him I don't need him to paint my house anymore because I'm thinking he took the pills. No big confrontation. Then I'd not worry about him anymore. Or something along those lines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjr 5,731 Posted March 30, 2011 Have him do the painting and then tell him he already paid himself with the pills he already owes me money, that is why he was doing the painting. he has no job and he's just a sad person at this point in time. I feel bad for the guy, I can't help it. he's like my real life gocolts I try and help him out all the time. For fock sakes I brought him to dinner last night, with a girl friend of ours he had already taken them before we went to dinner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KSB2424 3,087 Posted March 30, 2011 I know this sounds ass backwards but if it was my brother or really close friend, I would confront him in an effort to show how out of control his drug issue is that he would steal from his own friends. In an effort to try and change/help him. However, by your post, this seems more like a casual friend. If so, I would let the issue go. He knows what he did was jacked up, and he obviously has issues. I wouldn't bring it up, but I would slowly and surely disassociate myself from this guy. Life's to short to hang around folks like that. I would let it slide off my back, while I let him slide out of my life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patweisers44 710 Posted March 30, 2011 If your friend has a drug issue and you dont confront this OR if you give him money (via employment or whatever) all you are doing is enabling him and setting yourself up for some disappointment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieJr 541 Posted March 30, 2011 I know you consider him a friend of yours, but I would not let him do the painting. He's going to rb you blind. The fact that he took pills that he has no idea if you or your girlfriend needs, shows that he has no regard for you or her. Not compared to his cravings for pain killers. If he stole them, he'd also steel material things from you to pawn off for drug money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyclone24 1,836 Posted March 30, 2011 I'd turn myself in to the police for supplying prescription meds to a person other than that for whom they were prescribed. Winner! Please turn yourself in immediately. thank you. Id confront him about it.....hes going to lie anyway....but id still make him aware that you know. And i wouldnt come at an angle where you are angry and pissed.....but that you are hurt that he would take things from you when you've apparantly taken him in and cared for him....almost like the disappointed parent angle.

Now that I have a wife and kid, I've found it pretty easy to de-prioritize any friendships that cause drama or stress. I've never disassociated myself from any of my long time friends per say, but there are several that have been relegated to just slightly above acquaintance status. You have a wife and kid, so you know what I'm saying. Right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ClemmyClem 0 Posted March 30, 2011 Make him paint the house since he already owes you money. If possible get a lock box and hide all of your meds in there and don't leave him in the house alone. Don't give him any money...if he needs food and tells you it's for that...tell him you'll take him to the store, things like that. Talk to him and see if you can get him into rehab or something, but if it's not his decision it won't work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shovelheadt 62 Posted March 30, 2011 1. He can't be trusted obviously, as he stole from you. No way I'd let that focker back in my house..unless you're prepared to follow him everywhere he goes. 2. That being said, you kind of started this whole mess by giving him a few pills in the past. Between that and the fact you knew he was an addict, you really shouldn't be surprised.
