• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

There is this girl she used to be nice to be friends with and nice to talk to but she wasn't a christian lately she is trying to get me in to crystal meth. And now l don't want to hang out with her anymore because she is going to be mad if l don't do it with her. I know its totally wrong thing to do it will hurt God I won't ever do it. And I don't want to risk my life either l don't want to die its a bad thing to do. No matter what she says l won't ever try it its so bad for you

Good for you! If she's trying to get you to do drugs and putting that much pressure on you, she's really not your friend. Not only would trying it hurt you, but it would also support her addiction. Tell her that she can either be your friend and accept your choice or she can make other friends. It's really hard to stand up to your friends, but it sounds like you have the hang of it.

It is AWESOME to take a stand for God like that:clap: . Talk to you friend about how bad it is and WHY you do not wanna do it and if she really doesnt understand why you dont wanna do it, the pull your Bible out and start telling her abotu God and how she does not have to depend on drugs when there is a Holy Father who wants to be depended on. Good Luck and i am praying for you!:prayer:

Anyone who would suggest/pressure you to try drugs is NOT a real friend. This girl needs some serious prayer. I'll add her to the list. Good for you for not wanting to go along with it. I've seen so many people mess up their lives with that garbage!

Hello Mebby,

Everyone here has given you stellar advice and support. Stand by your convictions and God will stand next to you. There is no need for those things when we can get such better feelings just from talking with our Father! :prayer:

If your friend is still pressuring you to try meth, then I think she is scared about being alone in her decision. Let her know that you are there for her, but that you won't compromise your relationship with God. If she won't accept that, then she'll just have to live with that decision.

You made the right decision. Stay strong and know that we are praying for you.
