Please pray for my friend he has been fighting addiction for almost 30 years. He has been in and out of prison for dealing drugs and using. He has recently started using again and it is destroying his relationships again. Please pray for me as I fight to still be there for him. I am tired of the back and forth and now with me having a family I no longer want him around my family environment. He is toxic to the way I want to live my life. My fear is I am the only support he has left and if I leave it will be over for him. I just can no longer be in his life. I have been his, as he calls it “one clean” friend for his entire life. I am afraid it is over for him if something doesn’t drastically change. God, please help him.
