The girlfriend dumped him a few months into the addiction (I was proud of her for doing it). His childhood friends stuck by him for the most part, but all of his other "good" (good as in non-drug users) stopped associating with him.
I just got an email from one of his close friends saying that "everybody is telling me NOT to write K, but I know what's its like in rehab so I am writing him".
It just made me sad. I can't blame these kids, I am not upset with them. I'm just sad that his life so drastically changed and he lost the good friends and was left with only his junkie friends. Some of his friends that have turned away from him have known his since elementary school.
He thinks he's getting his old phone number back when he gets out. THAT is funny. I got rid of that phone account months ago. He has not friends to call, the numbers in that phone were all drug connections.
I am glad he still have two "good friends" left plus two "recovering friends" that he just CAN NOT hang around.
Not sure why this makes me sad tonight, but reading those words in that email kind of hurt....I guess they are doing the right thing, it just hurt to read that email :(
