The rehab had nothing to do with heroin. Addicts always dig for excuses. Maybe God will show mercy and have him realize this is rock bottom.

Right, as if he would never have heard of heroin any other way.
Wrong. He was shoved into a den of inequity with other dirtbags. He didn’t stand a chance at 16 of overcoming that environment.
In the end its up to the individual whether or not they choose to use intoxicants. Yet this pampered kid was raised in the midst of Hollywood, neo pagan , hedonistic decadence. He certainly was not exposed to the religious stoicism of his immigrant great grandparents or the cultural mileau of early 20th century Bronx. Can you imaging this kid actually attended a party and kept asking people “Are you famous?” He was also taught to hate. His mind set and actions are understandable but not excusable
One more example of our failing mental health establishment. Psychiatric drugs and useless shrinks have replaced parenting and discipline.
Agree. I would take everything he’s said with a grain of salt.

Au contraire mon frere. All addicts know they can meet other addicts and connections at rehab.
