help

[redridinghood]

i have a very very close friend who was a drug addict in the past. he abused heroin, marijuana and MANY other drugs. recently he was acting very strangely, while on the phone with me, and passed out while talking. the next morning i had to break open his door and wake him up. the entire day he was very slow and sluggish.
we had a urine test done for drug abuse that night, the result has proved that he was under the influence of "benzodiazepine", found in xanax and valium, under the same category as heroin. he INSISTS he did not take ANY drugs at all. and that he has only been taking caffeine pills once in a while. i dont know what to to. i dont know whether to believe him, the drug test proved POSITIVE. he swears that he did not take any drugs.
please help? if not, i ask that you please keep us in your prayers..
i feel so lost and i can only cry out to Jesus, please pray the Lord will clear this and tell me how to deal with this situation and give us strength.

My prayers are with you and for your friend. Denial is the hardest and the first step that must be faced. God be with you both.

Praise the good Lord.....
Ensure him God loves and will be for him to over come.
There will be a tough road ahead of him , and my heart goes out to him, but God in all his grace and mercy can and will carry him, I pray he embraces that. Much love and peace to you both.
And I ask prayers for my husband, for he is still in denial, and I am forced to make a change, not to make him admit and deal with his addiction, but for me and my son's well being. Chie

Admitting it is the first step. Just know that you cannot make him get help or fix him, those are things your friend has to want for himself. Otherwise it won't work.
