A friend of mine is in trouble and I'm looking all over the internet for any help I can get.
He is about to become homeless, and the people who have been depending on him are about to do the same. He's had no job for 158 days and is on a mortgage with his friend. Since his tax return all went into his living expenses for the last two months, he's out of money.
He's completely destitute and hasn't a care in the world. He's seriously in trouble, but he's too busy to do anything about it.
He sleeps for 10 hours per day, and I do mean day, 7:00AM to 5:00PM or so, then he plays WOW until it's time to sleep again. He does nothing else. He eats at his desk and won't move for any reason. If anyone talks to him about how bad his life has gotten (or how horrible it's about to get) he becomes really defensive and starts ranting about how he's fine and WOW makes him happy.
Many people have tried to get him out of the horrible lifestyle in which he has become entrenched, but no successes yet. He lost his job back in January and has since completely shut down. He went to one job interview in the last 6 months. Now he's ready to start borrowing money from his parents rather than even try looking for another job. His parents don't have much money to give, so I can only imagine how this is going to end.
Most of the information on wowdetox and wowrecovery are posts from people who have broken the cycle and see the problem with their behavior and how it has ruined their lives, he apparently hasn't gotten to that revelation yet.
The real problem is that he's taking others down with him, financially and as a friend. It's going to cause law suits and nobody involved will be OK for years to come. It's basically the end of this guy's life.
HELP!
Thanks.
My friend is in trouble
It's easy to forget your life's concerns and just escape to a world where there are no mortgages or expectations (other than just playing).
I feel for your friend. Deep down he knows what he's doing is destructive but is afraid or unwilling to face real life. Best of luck with this. I think you should seek professional help (counselor, intervention specialists). He's an addict in every sense of the word and it should be treated seriously.
