Over the weekend this young man that we have interacted with several times in the last few years died of a heroin overdose. A friend found him on his couch slumped over, needle in arm. He had this addiction for a couple of years. When we dealt with him he never gave us a hard time, but you could clearly see he was troubled.

Three years ago he won a grand prize in the Mass. state lottery scratch ticket game that the grand prize was $100,000.00 a year for life.

No one could convince this kid that sobriety would bring about a more fruitful/happy life.
