Cold, heartless, cruel. Please, just try to find just a little compassion. It’s safe to say you’ve had the good fortune in life to not have to suffer a loved one destroying themselves with drugs or booze. How very fortunate for you. I envy you in that regard.

“It’s safe to say you’ve had the good fortune in life to not have to suffer a loved one destroying themselves with drugs or booze. How very fortunate for you. I envy you in that regard.”

Not me,

I had a brother who was junkie and he ended up dead.

I have a best friend who was a junkie and I damn near had to kill him to keep him from killing himself.

I had a straight A top of her class headed to a top college who overdosed.

I have had clients who overdosed the day they received a Not Guilty verdict on a POCS charge.

I get it, but they are all junkies and did to to themselves.

No, it isn’t safe to say that.

Check your premise.

It's the worst thing you can imagine. Often alcoholics are very bright, accomplished, wonderful people who just cannot stop...Love doesn't seem to help, treatment often fails, and I know it's the same with drug addicts. Prayers for this young man's suffering family.
