What bothered (bothers) me most about my brother's addiction is that he only wants to talk about the important stuff when he's coming off the drugs. When he's down and out and suffering through withdrawals, THEN he wants to talk about how he misses his kids, our other brother dying, how he's lost everything and doesn't know how to get it back, etc....
Then when he gets another fix, everything is hunky-dory. He doesn't have a care in the world.
