In the Victorian era there were poor houses and mental institutions where people like Ray would have been, is the present situation of letting people who cannot care for themselves try and fend for themselves in society any crueler? I think so…

We have a man like this where I work. The standard joke is that he will drink gloss paint if necessary. I remember him as a big strong man. I saw him a week ago as a hunched frail 43 year old wreck. His kids used to ring the police to get him arrested every other week when he pestered them for money for drink.

Knowing my luck I will get the sudden death in a year or so and have the whole family telling me what a loving dad he was.

I for one like him.

It is a shame about Ray. And it’s a shame about every other result of a bad addiction. It’s crazy how much addiction can claim your life and take it away. I never really realized it before, and then I saw the A&E show Intervention. I’m not sure if any of you have seen it, but it really brought home the idea of addiction and how it takes over the entire body and mind and renders you useless from making your own decisions. Check it out: http://www.aetv.com/intervention. The new series premiere is on December 3rd at 9pm, in case you want to get a fresh start. They use footage of a “fake documentary” on the addict to make them realize what they’re doing to their life, and then they let them choose between intervention and self-destruction.

I’ve always had friends laden with addiction problems. The show helped me realize how to deal with them, because honestly, I’ve never really had an addiction problem. And trying to tell them that they’re addicted is like trying to talk to a brick wall. It just doesn’t work. What else do you guys use for resources on drug addictions? What do you say to your friends? What do you say to yourself?

As thought provoking the second time round as it was the first. Thanks for reminding us of it.

‘What’s in the tree, comes out in the branches’
How can you ( no, make that; we) ever break the cycle?
It must seem as hopeless to Ray and his ilk, as it does to us, even a child can see that.

So sad…but there’s something lovely in you taking the time to remember him in this way.
