A dear friend of mine is abusing pain killers, and I'm getting fed up with him. He calls me when he runs out telling me he's scared about making it to work. He blows through all his money and can't pay his bills and he'll ask me for money to buy drugs.

I come from a family of addicts and am an addict myself. Pain medication isn't my drug of choice, but his behavior has really been putting me off.

I try to tell him to prioritize his life, making his sobriety most important, but with the economy as it is, it's unrealistic.

I'm just getting sick and tired of watching him make the same mistakes over and over. It's possible this is upsetting because I see myself in him. I'm tired of consoling and trying to advise him, because I can't help him. There's nothing I can do, I have no personal experience in quitting opiates I don't know what he's going through and I have no clue on what he should do.
