You left loving friends
Out in the cold

Get help or die

Friends through it all
We remain true
Taking the next step
Depends on you

Its time to face facts
Get back on track
So we can celebrate
Having you back

I have a 20 year old friend whom is addicted to meth. She has done it since she was 17 and has gotten worse. She lost her 1 year old daughter behind it and still does it. I am a recovering addict and have been for 3 years. all I want is for her to see she is sick.
