I hate addiction. Found out a friend died :(

I just seen on fb that the first person I ever met at an AA meeting has passed. He gave me my first big book and was a good guy but had his demons. He ended up going back out for years and apparently was pulled over by cops so ate a gram and a half of herion and it burst and he died. I hate this disease. Please take it seriously. Its a matter of life and death. Sorry I had to vent.

So sorry for your loss. That is the scariest part...we don't always find our way back for 2nd or 3rd chances.
