No amount of money, pleading, cajoling, reasoning or any other emotion can fix an addict.
Bottom line is they have three choices; jail, death or recovery.
There is no other outcome.
I’ve seen people that have gone overboard in trying to help friends or family that were addicts. I’ve walked away from people when they would not stop trying to help. They’d ignore years of missing holidays, birthdays, special occasions or even just something you were supposed to do on the weekend trying “help” an the addict in their life.
You cannot reason with the unreasonable and expect rational decisions from the irrational.
I’m very sorry for her family and friends. I hope she has found peace that she didn’t find in life. Anyone that has dealt with addicts also know that those around her that tried to help at least have the comfort of finality.
There is a peace in that as well.
People dont realize that in your area and west into Ohio is absolutely infiltrated with heroin. It is really bad and possibly a National Emergency.
Almost all the videos posted of ODed parents with children in the back seats are coming from the PA Ohio corridor.
Well said.
