Friend relapsed on drugs. It happens a lot. Rehab doesn't work. It's eating me up. I know they have to make the changes too. I know this doesn't rest in my hands alone. They need to want to be clean.

Second this. Even if you chain him to the wall he will find a way to use drugs. You can't stop him.

The pain you're in is because of you; you need to give up the idea of changing him. You can't change him. Give up.

He will live or die and it is entirely in his power, not yours. You have no control over this.
