The average person doesn 't know or understand the reality of addiction. Heroin is a drug that will destroy families and friends. Once the user injects the drug they get a rush, this is the rush that keeps users going back for more. Not long after starting to use most addicts quickly spiral out of control. Drugs like weed, crack, cocaine, etc. often cause mental withdraws, but with heroin it becomes more than mental.

It will turn the most innocent person into a complete animal and criminal. The addiction usually starts from two different ways, first is when a friend offers it to the new user for their first time or the addict has been a long time prescription medicine abuser and found heroin to be a cheaper and easier opiate to find.

Everyone handles the loss of a loved one differently, but I do not believe that this is an effective way to deal with the loss of Mike.

Drug addiction is nothing to be taken
