Thank you all for your responses. I still cant bring myself to throw my friend out on the street... maybe I am a dumbass for not doing so. I can state implicitly that I am in no harms way, there is not a way possible for this person to physically harm me, I am 2x bigger, and 6x stronger, and trained very well by uncle sam, so that's not a concern even if they were to find a weapon. My friend did attack me, and regretted it (I caused no harm mind you, but I have been taught well to persuade with great effectiveness). I cannot say it wont happen again, but know the perpencity is gone and they realize it will be met very harshly.
I can also state with confidence, there is no drug usage going on, and none in my house, nor is there any access to it. Yes, it is causing me to watch them 24/7... I hope its worth it.
I do hear what your telling me, kick them out, but morally I cant... they have come clean to me, and asked for my help, and for whatever reason I have to at least try. I have made it very clear that is 1 chance, and we both know I am very serious about that. I also hear everyone saying I will regret it, and your probably right but I have to try, for a friend.
So... the only parts that remain unanswered are
first, is it better to be hard and push, driving them to get moving again after the first week, forcing the issue and getting them up and going (I know this will agitate them, but I really want them to remember this hell also) or is it better to let them take it on their own terms.
second, what about alternative medicine, acupuncture, homoeopathic help. I gave them Valarium tonight and that has helped with the "edgyness", to calm them. Has anyone tried Ginseng, or Eknisha or other herbs (sorry if I spelled those wrong)? Or am I wasting my time with them?
