Addiction

Someone really close to me struggles with addiction. Heroin to be exact. Rumor has it that this person is using again. This is such a repeat that I don't know yet again how to feel. I shrug it off and say.."I guess one of these days I'll be going to a funeral in NY". I feel like that's not right. I called and left a message on the phone today, but doubt that will do any good. I feel like crap about it. Using drugs and escaping sounds like so much fun and it can be, but when addiction takes over it's no longer fun nor glamorous. Sad.

UPDATE- I heard this person went to receive daily methadone this morning. The reason for not receiving the treatment for over a week is unclear.
