I sent my friend an inviation thinking she was all clean of drugs and everything!. Turns out a few of my friends saw her the other day and they told me shes really cracked out!. Thing is I cant have someone like that at my party!. Family and older people will be attending and I dont know how she will react and there will be a bar in there!. I cant be watching over her 24/7 and I dont want my guests around her!. I feel like a bad person for saying that and not wantin her to come but she deff needs to get help!.

Tell her if and when she's ready to seek professional rehab help, you will help her, but let her know there's no place in your life for people who are not a good and positive influence on yourself and those you care about!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Tell her
"I really would like you to be at my party, but i don't want people to think badly of you, if you get really drunk!. If they get a bad first impression, it will last forever, and i know you aren't really like that!.
I can help you get professional help, to make you better, and we will have a huge party for you when you do get better"
