The drug dealers, traffickers, and kingpins are the worst- murderers without penalty. Sadly, it’s no better here in the US. I’ve reached out when my son was acting crazy from alcohol and every place I called was useless. My son fights his own demons with alcohol- it’s everywhere. He’s two blocks away from a liquor store. I can’t even imagine if someone was actually calling him and tempting him with it on top of his own addiction. He goes to the hospital to detox and then it’s all on him. They give him resources which he uses for a while and then, well you know. No one follows up or cares. They just fall through the cracks. But he’s an adult, so technically it’s all on him. And I guess on some level, it is.

I don’t know what the answer is. It just hurts because these are real human beings with a disease and yet, it’s also on him to try and find what help there is.
