This is a trap you are laying for yourself, and for the addict. It is easy for me to judge others and their behavior, especially when I have never been in their shoes. Sometimes, I set myself up to judge others so that I can feel better about myself, and I have found this to be especially so when I am closely associated with an addict. I try not to make the mistake of comparing myself with other people. Unless you are a cocaine addict yourself in Recovery, you fool yourself to believe that you know what this man, whom you call a "kid," needs.
