How do you cope with
someone who is in the drug addiction in families, childhood friends or friends.

Helping them or Ignoring them? that is the most toughest decision. :(
 
a person cannot be helped if they don't want to be. i would strongly encourage this person to seek drug rehabilitation and/or therapy in order to successfully deal with their addition. if they refuse to get help, as difficult as it may be to do, your best bet would be to end your relationship with them and move on with your life.

This is so true. I knew someone who was a drug addict; my childhood sweetheart. After HS, he got addicted to weed, coke, PCP and speed. He got deeply into it and it changed his personality to such that I was frightened by him. He started driving by my house repeatedly just because he was bored. He also tried to hit me up for drug money one time. I ended up pretty scared by him; even though he was a really sweet guy when he was sober. I ended up having to end our relationship because I was that frightened by his behavior. Sadly, the drugs ended up killing him. He became suicidal and ended his life by stepping in front of a train.

Drugs are a nightmare. I would encourage anyone to try and make the person get help, but if they refuse, I would say trust your instincts and protect yourself. One of the hardest things I had to do was walk away, but I honestly didn't know what would happen if I didn't.
