[QUOTE="Scott_G, post: 633125, member: 16626"] Unfortunately there is absolutely nothing you can do to help an addict get clean. He will only stop when he wants to stop and typically he will need to hit rock bottom before he deided he wants to stop. If he's been smoking every other day for several years now it is very likely that he is addicted and it is going to be difficult for him to quit even if he wants to. The only thing you can really do is to not enable his addiction. I would also be concerned that he is injecting it. My son went from snorting to shooting up in less than a year. That is typical. As the addiction progreses snorting or smoking just doesn't deliver a strong enough high fast enough. I feel sorry for you that you have to deal with this. Is he a minor or an adult? If he's a minor you might be able to force him to participate in some kind of program (this is a guess on my part), but if he is an adult, there is very little you can do besides not being an enabler.
