OKAY. Now down to business, the whole reason I'm making this journal.
Some of my rl friends may know of my friend, Chibi (it's her nickname, just to keep it a little private).
Recently...well not so good things have happened. I'll spare the whole story, or else this would be a waaaaay too long journal entry. Anyway, I'm not the only one to think this either, but, Chibi needs help. She drinks entirely too much, and it was to the point this past weekend where she woke up IN JAIL. I don't know the full details as I wasn't there, but she told me herself that this happened.
Okay. I was pissed. I was super pissed, but it was because I'm worried for her. To me, and please, feel free to point out if I'm over reacting, she's getting more and more out of control with her drinking this year. It started last spring quarter, where up until then, she and I, and our little group of friends had said drinking was stupid and found ways to have a great time without it.
I'm not a drinker myself, but whatever, if she wants to, that's cool. I'm just worried about how much she does it. If she was wasted enough to be cuffed and taken to jail, isn't that a little much? All of her friends said she needs help. I've told her, and she admitted she needed it. BUT. Here's the real kicker. She won't get it.
I'm so worried about her...really, I want to help her. I'm so angry that I can't do more for her, or find a way to really get through to her before it gets worse. She's only nineteen, and I have no idea if something's going to happen to her now for being caught as an underage drinker. She is one of the good friends I've made at college, and I care about her with all my heart. I don't want to see her get kicked out of school, or anything worse than that. I'm so terrified of getting a call one day from her, or some one else...to tell me something horrible happened.
So I'm coming to you guys. Anyone at all. Like I said, feel free to tell me if I'm over reacting (which I'm sure this situation would work better if you actually knew her, hehe) or if you have any advice on how I could help her. I just don't want anymore bad to happen to her, she deserves more. Please and thank you guys, all help at all is appreciated!
