She should see that her many attempts to get him to stop has not worked, and while she has not yet been hurt by his using....she really has because of the hurt she has had to deal with since he will not stop. He will only really stop when he wants to stop and she needs to accept that if she stays with him she will not get him to stop. Even if he is not addicted no one person can make another person quit using. I know it seems harsh or hard but he obviously loves the drugs more than he loves your friend and she deserves someone who puts her before something destructive like drugs.
