That's because it's hard to define what "rock bottom" is. For some people rock bottom is smoking a j every day. for others, it's a lot lower.

Not to mention the "you only get better after you hit rock bottom" is a clever way of stating the really obvious, kinda like "it's always darkest before it turns light", or "you find something you lost in the last place you look". Duh.

The thing is he keeps on getting into harder drugs, first it was E, then doing E for no reason at all. The K, then Meth, that was harsh, Blow came next, What after this?

after blow will be freebase.
freebase will be good for a short period of time until he realizes he can use crack for much cheaper.

^^no way! Intervention before talking to your friend first personally is WAY overkill and will make him isolate away from the people trying to get him to stop. Its like shooting someone before you even tell him what you are shooting him for: the point is not made.

Plus, and intervention implies that you went to everyone else about his business before you even went to him. Thats not what a good friend will do.

You have to give people the chance to make the decisions on their own AND give them a chance to analyze their own behavior. Sometimes it will happen, sometimes it wont, and when it doesnt THEN intervene on a more forceful level.

i think u should kidnap him tie him up and between up for a week, i personally think this is a great idea and should be used for more things then just drug abuse.

something that i know works for some is having other things provided... such as other things to do, going to see a movie, or out to dinner, a day at the park, a movie night with a group of friends, a big bbq with beers at a cottage. Its funny how quickly one becomes lost in the world of partying. Providing your friend with another party sans drugs to go to is not the answer... hes just going to be bored and wonder where the drugs are. It seems for your friend the drugs have be come an association with that situation. In the end though, the only person who can help your friend is them self.
