I never knew anyone that used drugs, a lot participated in pot smoking and drinking at parties and that was it.
It's just awful. After I heard the news I picked my baby up and held her for as long as she would allow me to.
Just saw this, so sorry to read this. I lost a dear friend from alcoholism in 2019. She drank herself to death. It was extremely painful for her family, as we all tried to help her countless times. It was a painful lesson in what can happen to those we love. Sending you a virtual hug.
