I don't think he's looking for advise, I think he's looking for someone to say.... go use, it's OK!

He's already made up his mind that it's gonna happen, he just doesn't know when yet.

"Tried everything".......... he hasn't applied any advise given, just made excuses why this or that won't work, and why he is so much different than any other addict.

I tried the same shyt in rehab until I surrendered.
