I'm being the best friend that I can be, but I don't know if there is more I can do:(

Yeah, meds affect some people really badly...there are different ones, and I hope Joe talks to a good doctor some day to find a different one to help him for a little while, and talk to someone to help healing on the inside...he has made great strides with the burning of the stuff.

Sometimes places like the Y have free or inexpensive workshops on recovering from abuse...they might be an idea.

The thing I like about good pros is that they can help a person find their own road map, which can save some wrong turns and driving way out of the way!

I don't know how many non-poopy girls he will find in bars...they're not there to find a tutor help them study for their Master's degree!

I hope he sticks to friends for now while he still recovers - friends are priceless. Friends like you.

Joe is scared to death to touch, what he calls mind drugs. He wont even touch a joint anymore.. he stopped cold turkey in fear of what happened with the prescription meds.. I'm glad he stopped smoking pot, no one in our group smokes it anyways. We only drink (& thats rare). When I told Joe I want to go on Anxiety meds, the poor guy nearly had a panic attack. Just the thought of me being on it scared him (the meds really traumatized him).

As for the Anxiety, hes doing fairly well. From our talks he use to be so bad that he couldn't even get into a car! He loves going in my car! He was a little quiet the first time & took him a while to go for a drive.. but he trusts me 100% now(he also drives with Gio). He always fights for the front seat lol Its funny to watch him & someone else running towards my car.. he always wins as he is a fast runner lol

love your poopy girls comment
Thats why I'm not interested in guys when I go to bars & clubs... too many people only want 1 thing & thats not my cup of tea (its not Joe's cup of tea either.. I've seen him turn down HOT girls offering him "things"... he says no & walks away, dissapointed)...

*blushing*
I've always been a good loving friend, I'm just so easy to take advantage of
