Now as to...

my friend who fell off the crack wagon.

he is staying clean, and he has stopped smoking.

I got him cinnamon sticks and straws, and a sippee water bottle, the kind you can suck on.
he had food and clean clothes and I will go about straighten out his bills and money matters, get him caught up and ahead.

I have given him home work that I was given when I was starting out.

"why am I unique, special and why the rules don't apply to me, or what makes me different from the rest of the crack heads that I know"

he put "why I should be saved?" I told him if that is what he wants, to go to church.
so he is doing as I asked of him.

Hopefully he will make a meeting tonight at 8pm.
(as much as I dislike AA/NA they do work for some people, and I did get a couple of things from them that I use till this day, and will continue to use)
`so we will see what he does. I hope all is well.
