STRUGGLING WITH DRUGS
A good friend of mine from high school has been in and out of different rehab facilities for the better part of the last six and a half years. He has a serious prescription drug abuse problem, in addition to struggling with alcohol, marijuana and cocaine. It seems like every time he comes back from rehab he brings a worse drug problem back with him. The first time he went it was just for alcohol, marijuana and pills, but after he came back he had also developed a cocaine habit. I do not get how that is possible. It is really hard to see him in such poor condition, because he was such a happy go lucky kid. Now it has gotten to the point where one of my friends called me and said that he thinks we should kill our friend before he has a chance to kill himself. I know that he was not really serious, but it made me realize how badly people feel about the situation. It even got so bad as to the point that our friend overdosed somewhere in between New Orleans where he lived then and Lehigh where he was going to visit a friend. A maid found him unconscious in a motel room.
