You know, every one&#8217;s different in different situations.  Some days I&#8217;m really quiet and other days, well I&#8217;m wide open.  She has been that way since our junior year in high school.  I just thought maybe she was &#8216;blossoming&#8217; since she was usually pretty shy.  It wasn&#8217;t blossoming though.  It was drugs.<\/p>\n<p>She called me today and told me that she has a cocaine addiction. Cocaine!!!  I was shocked.  I didn&#8217;t know what to say.  Then she told me that she was going for treatment for her addiction.  I almost cried I was so proud of her.  She&#8217;s a great person and has a really good family that is standing behind her all the way.  That&#8217;s a lot more than some families would do.<\/p>\n<p>The treatment center she&#8217;s going to is a really good treatment center too.  I wouldn&#8217;t expect her family to send her to anything but a good one.  I made sure to let her know just how proud of her I was for admitting she had a problem and going to get help.  That&#8217;s a huge step in the right direction.  I promised her that I would write her at least once a week while she&#8217;s gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have always thought my friend acted a bit odd from time to time but thought it was just her.
