Turns out newer community is in to Meth, and I'm sober/"substance"-free...

...See more I became friends with some different people in the past year or so for various reasons, and many of them "indulge" or "self-medicate" in ways I don't agree with. Some of these people are even quite important to me. I've never done meth and don't want to. I quit anything more than rare use of drugs more then a few years ago, recently saying a no thanks to all, and went sober a few or so years ago. It's really quite stressful and sad for me sometimes. I have tried to tell them there are better solutions out there. That health is something I care about. Their health. That they are beautiful. That God created them beautiful. I could go on and on. But many don't really take me seriously. Some have cut back and that makes me believe in humanity more. I say it's bad but I don't really want to push it too much. I don't want people to quit too fast... and have it be bad for their health? Some say that. I don't know. And I don't want people to change for me but because they want to. Maybe my approach is wrong? I don't really know anything about the drug. It just wasn't ever really around me. I'm trying to keep compassion and care but I feel this issue creates such a distance. Atleast I'm gaining patience and calm somewhat I guess.
