My brother died stealing cooper from high tension lines to pay for his drug habit. He started taking the folks beer at around age 9-10, then coke, and then crack. He joined AA beat alcoholism and coke, but could not over come crack.
My family fought a war that lasted about 20 years supporting him, sending him to schools, doctors, visiting him in jails, and giving him places to live.
He served in the Navy, was a journey man plumber, owned a drain cleaning business, was an incredibly hard worker, but also had a gene or propensity to alter his mind. I can assure you he, and my family especially my father and the world would have be better off if he could have cured his addiction. Many people have similar stories and it hurts just a little that some feel they were not worth saving. He inherited the alcoholism gene (runs in the family) through no fault of his own.
Sorry for your loss. I’m going back to amend my less than sensitive comment. You are right. Many in those positions suffer from addiction.
