Hey guys. Thanks for the excellent posts .


I had coffee with one of her best friends last night. We talked about this alot. It was alot of sharing stories about when things were happening, what has happend before, and what we can do to help her.

To spare me from typing everything out since I have a 5 page paper due tomorrow I have yet to start, things make a lot more sense. It seems she started this stuff as her to best friends (me and this other girl) got busy and were no longer there for her. She tried reaching out to both of us but we were too busy to notice or deal with it at the time (god I sound like a parent in a cheap movie). And apparently she holds me in higher regard than I had thought, which is kinda a confidence boost that I have been doing something right as a friend. Simply she turned to me when her other friend...lets call the friend "Tina" for sake of story telling. Tina had here own problems she needed to attend to, and was nolonger there for her, she turned to me, but I started getting busy so I wasn't their either, so she turned to her other "friends". Looking back and comparing stories there were a lot of "Oh wow.." or "Oh crap.." moments. Basically neither of us worried that much about her, Tina thought "Well, she has him" and I figured "Well she has her", so lack of communication was a problem here :p. Talking with Tina it was hard to not get in the "Its my fault" state of mind, but we both agreed its not important how we got here, but where we go from here that matters. So we are both going to sit down and talk with her soon, and reasure her that we are there for her, we want whats best for her, and let her know that life can be fun without drugs (thanks to AJ@PR, Slugtoy, Snowfire, any anyone else for suggesting this, we both liked the idea and think its our best bet).

So thanks again to everyone, I'll try to keep you all upto date with the happenings.

EDIT:
