you may find this harsh but I'm just being truthful with you. He'll NEVER change and he's gonna continue with the addiction until he leaves this earth. You can take him to Adeboye or Oyedepo and it still won't change a damn thing. He can see the best psychiatrist, counsellors, therapist etc in the world and it won't make any difference. No one can change him but himself! Even if he moves to any new place, a new country he'll still find where they sell the drugs and continue with his addiction. The sooner his parents understand this, the better it is for them as they are gonna be miserable for the rest of their lives and keep hoping for him to change but sadly he'll NEVER change. 3 Likes |

Drug addiction it any other form of addict8is a very dangerous thing. Mindset is what is needed to stop it, that's the first step. Discuss it with him and be convinced that he truly and sincerely wish to stop it, make plans, outline the process and procedures and ensure every steps and procedures are strictly adhered to. NB: it will be practically difficult or impossible to stop it drastically in order to keep withdrawal symptoms in check, adopt gradual withdrawal i.e gradual decrease of dosage, make sure also he get himself busy and staying out of drug friends and zone |

kingthreat:Hope the mother didn't bail him out as prison might be the best place to help wean him off the drugs since it seems he has enablers everywhere else, which includes you @OP. ![]() This is drug addiction, not a simple cold or something like that. The only one that can stop this is the boy himself. ![]() 1 Like |

kingthreat: i could suggest something but 90% of people would not try it even though it has an 80% success rate. it would require the energy of those that say they love that guy (his family) and not even him. |

kingthreat:Leave the man in jail. Send him books and give him food. not money. ![]() Also, research Clinics that use Ibogaine to treat addiction. I read somewhere in Agriculture Forum here that some are into farming the product. Tell your galfriend to investigate it and find how she can get her brother possibly treated with it. ![]() 1 Like |

Kingthreat, here's another thought you might call everyone together to consider. Since gambling is an addiction, a sickness of sorts of the mind, you could look into finding an Ibogaine clinic where he could receive ibogaine treatment which is said to cure all kinds of addictions. ![]() https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibogaine https://time.com/5951772/ibogaine-drug-treatment-addiction/ https://www.inverse.com/article/31461-ibogaine-cure-addiction |

Kobojunkie: Wow interesting. Thanks for this information. Don't know if there is a clinic for this in Nigeria though. But really appreciate all the same boss. |

kingthreat:If you read the last article on the list, you will find this interesting story about how ibogaine gained popularity in the U.S. at least. ![]() In 1962, a teenage heroin addict from The Bronx named Howard Lotsof happened upon an extract of the substance in powder form. He took it searching for a high, found one, and also found that when it wore off, it took his desire for heroin with it. Six friends who were also junkies tried it; five went clean immediately, with none of the painful withdrawal for which heroin is notorious. Lotsof became a lifelong activist for the research of ibogaine for drug dependency.Even if you don't find a clinic, I bet you should be able to find the plant and it's product right there in Nigeria. ![]() |

Sometimes there just not much you can do. As long as it has to do with drugs. It’s only the affected person that has the final say. He/She has to want to stop. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Those are terrible addictions to stop speaking from personal experience.... When it's time to stop he is gonna stop.... The more pressure you guys put on him... The more he is gonna fall back to those drugs... Just pray for him and keep on talking to him... Someday he is gonna come to his right senses... Just hope it's not too late though 2 Likes |

I'd say just leave him there in jail for a long time. Thats natural detox of he doesn't get access to his fix there. I he's hurriedly bailed out, he will think same will happen next time if he does it again. |
