They dated. She moved on and has a new girlfriend now, but she knows her ex-girlfriend has a big time drug problem. Does she stay out of it or go right in?

On one hand, she’d be helping someone out from her past…but on the other hand, she’d need to admit to her girlfriend that she’s been stalking her ex-girlfriend’s social media. And on top of that, is it even her business anymore? Is it inappropriate to get involved?

Here’s the email we got:

Hey Bert Show,

I’ve been thinking about doing something and didn’t know if I should. I  can’t ask any of my friends for advise because they know the history.

My issue is, I don’t know if I should inform someone that my ex needs rehab. She is dealing with the law right now; I believe she has 3 cases that she is dealing with. She is doing and has been doing drugs for several years now, but she is thinking about trying heroine. She has to take random drug tests but she uses synthetic urine to pass them. She hasn’t confided in me with all her troubles; the reason I know she’s going through all of this is because I still stalk her blog.

2 years after we split, i tried taking her to AA several times. She IS an alcoholic and an addict; she admitted it to me once or twice over the phone. She is also admitting it on her blog.

I have a new girlfriend now, and I don’t want to upset anyone (especially my new gf) with me intervening in my ex’s life; but the most recent post from my ex is what alarmed me and I am concerned about her because she basically cried out for help. Saying that this will continue to grow and she will most likely kill herself or someone else while intoxicated.

She knows she needs rehab/help but doesn’t know how to stop doing drugs.
