I dint mean to insinuate that above, I know too many times I leave details out. When My AH and BIL are together and drinking and using they fight rough bloody noses busted lips ect and continue to get high. When you go to an outreach center for the free tests you dont pick and choose its all or none.
I think all addicts should have Buyers beware stickers all over them, refeurbished...it looks like new but its not...its broken and has only be refurbished....for now anyway.
With that I agree fully.
As far as how sick I was that was pre his rehab attempts which I think I got more tools from than he did, Im so thankful thats not me now.
My grandfather now deceased was one of those soldiers you mentioned. In the end his liver gave out. He was one of the lucky ones wherein it was cut early and he took immunity shots for many years.
The addicts I know with it, generally arent as fortunate due to destroying their bodies natural defenses. DAle passed 3 months after being diagnosed
