I know this is an addiction so why would I mention all this to them?
Well, one part says bec what if this person dies while with me!
Another part says well I knew this addiction was there from the beginning & im only really fully seeing it now....bec I'm actively looking. But it won't change things.
Another part just says ignore it, it's their issue, move on.
Idk how to think about this bec from what I've learned about people with addictions this bad is that there is no room for ANYTHING else in their life....but the drug.
And then I think....what if I'm wrong?

Sometimes all you can do is let them hit rock bottom before they will ask for help. Staying up for days and doing a little bit? Yeah right. The tireder you get the more you do just to keep going.
The best you can do is be clean and happy as an example of clean (?) living. But if it begins to tempt you...I'd be honest and say you can't be around it. They most likely will pick drugs over friendship and cop a resentment. All you can do is keep up your side of the street.
If you decide to say something...say it just once as a statement and drop it because all it will do is make your friend resent you.
