re: BR drug problem

I have an old buddy from back home that has been battling drugs for ten or so years now. During this time, he lost his wife and two kids, numerous high paying jobs, houses, all the clothes, guns, etc that he owned. He's been MIA for the last six to eight weeks ago and I just found out Friday that he was back in rehab somewhere.

I am to the point that I have zero sympathy for him and his situation. The ex-wife has remarried and the kids now have a stepfather that seems to love them. If losing one's family is not enough to get someone's attention and steer them straight, nothing will. This guy's life is forever ruined and nothing will change that fact.
