Homeless people/addiction.

My condolences on your loss mate..
I can only imagine how you are feeling, these addictions are truly horrible.
It sound's like you did all you could, sadly it seems he didn't want the help on offer. Another sad story.

Thanks Bill

Thanks Bill

Condolences Pablo, first steps in treating any addiction is for the person to be in the position and accept they have a problem, and then wanting to do something about it, so certainly don’t beat yourself up over anything you think you ‘could’ have done mate, I’m sure you tried everything within your power.
RIP Jonny.

Today I found out that my brother and best mate passed away . He wasn’t just an alcoholic but also had gambling and drug problems .
He left home at 16 to join the racing stables a job which he loved and was successful in but with it came many pitfalls . Being his big brother I always tried to look out for him but as the years passed I could see where he was heading .
He lived in Sussex so only ever saw him for a few games or a day at the races but I could see all wasn’t good . I tried to talk about his problems but was always told don’t bother me I’m ok . From having a great job to nothing, the drink and drugs finally took over and what ever we tried to do as a family didn’t work and god knows how we tried . Near the end the abuse and violence got to much , my wife and family nobody was safe . I’m sat here now thinking could I have changed things , I don’t know probably not . I’ve lost a few pals through alcohol and now my brother .
RIP Jonny Blue

Sorry for your family's loss. Another blue gone too soon. RIP.
