ChattyKat Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 My friend is a drug addict. He has been in prison a few years & coming home soon. And wants to stay clean once getting out. He has asked me if I could buy him a phone. I don't want to enable him. At the same time, he needs one to look for work, keep in touch with his kids. Link to post Share on other sites

d0nnivain Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I would not buy him a phone or pay for a lot of stuff for him. You don't need those financial entanglements. Do help him avail himself of any programs like the one mentioned above for which he may be entitled. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
