That went well

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff

Today, I tried to stage an intervention for a friend who abuses drugs. I ended up with my hair on fire. FML

Lesson for today: Don't try to change someone who has quick access to a lighter.

That's just so wrong that your friend abuses drugs. What did the drugs ever do to him/her that makes it ok to beat them?

OP should just cool his head and take baby steps for his friend.

I've got a better idea. OP should change their name to the Human Torch.

Being honest, that's actually pretty hot.

But what if the drugs deserve to be beaten?

Is it physical abuse or is it more psychological?

Maybe you should just hire a person who does this for a living. So then you get to keep all your hair and your friend might also benefit!

I know the economy is bad these days. But having my hair on fire was never on my potential jobs list :/

Its a shame when you have a friend that abuses drugs. Its sad to see them addicted and against stopping. Hopefully you can get more help for them before they do something stupid to themselves.

In my personal experience, interventions that don't involve professional help or support rarely work. But I can understand your concern for your friend.

Sounds like your friend might need a dose of anger management to go with their rehab

they might not have anger issues. some people that ate addicts will do anything to keep getting drugs because addiction does that to you. makes you prioritize drugs above all else
