I never used a needle, but all my friends I grew up with did. I know at least half of them are dead.
I'm still in contact with two. One mate is pretty much permanently in D-ward.
The other fella I'm seeing tomorrow. He's addicted to speed and ecstasy.
I see him about once a month and I take clothes, blankets, food and money.
I always clean up and cook a few decent meals.
I am always worried that he won't be there anymore.
Kicked out or dead.
I suppose I realise that that is the way it will end.
Nothing else to say about that.
GC, like other have said, you done what you could.
It's rare to meet someone who got out once they were fully in.
