This is true. Chris is actually a really good guy. He's just been through some hardship in his life, and he hasn't seemed to be able to recover. He even told me he once tried to commit suicide. I really feel bad for him, because he's clearly living in the pain.
I wish there was more I could do for him, but just like myself..........nobody can actually stop you from drinking or doing drugs, except for yourself.
It's a stark reminder of why I stay sober. So I don't have to endure that hardship. I've paid way too steep of a price as it is.
