Death, Life, Delusion

Just got word a gay man known in the community in Minneapolis died of an overdose of Crystal Meth.  I have seen so many chemical dependency deaths in the 33 years of sobriety.  Some of the people I know are mourning by getting high tonight.  That is so bizarre.  I just am sad because this was someones little boy, someones grandson, someones coworker, someones friend, someones lover.  How alone he must have been in the last few hours of his life.  How scared he must have been.  How desperate he was.  How at a very lonely empty place of human existence.  And some of his friends choose to use.  How very very sad.

He is free of drugs now.
