Lisa, I recall some of the worst things about when I decided to turn my life around was having to turn my back on many of the people I was very close to. I could see the addiction had them past the point of no return and for them it was either prison or death. I remember the overwhelming emotions. When I finally had to decide whether or not to continue on that path or save my life. It is so hard to let people go. Especially when you have great feelings for them. However, bottom line is we always must choose what is best for one's own soul and well-being. Consequently, many of those I left behind. Never chose to change and made it to their final destination of a prison cell, or into the graveyard. I can only hope they found some sort of peace and must continue moving forward. In my own life, you must be strong and do the same. As always, I wish all the best for you , Lisa be well, your friend Rodney

Dear Lisa,
I know you will not want to hear this! But, there is always a but, all you can do is try and control your own addictions. Even if you were to solve all of his problems it would be not better as he did not do it for himself therefore it would be meaningless. A lot of people slip when they encounter things like this so be warned, now is the time to work on your own issues no matter how much it breaks your heart. Hard advise but if I didn't care I would not tell you this. Eric
