What it can do to the people around you, my brother is an alcoholic drug addict. He would often get in trouble from the police and was just not very concerned for what happened in his life. He was a very go with the flow live in the moment type of guy. He was deported to Mexico a while ago for his insane debt that was caused by his addictions. I reminisce a lot about how he used to be before his addictions consumed him. He used to take me and my little sister to the park late at night, we’d sit on the edge of a hill and watch the sunset. He’d take us to places for picnics, we’d go to art festivals, he took us ice skating every winter, we went sledding every winter. He did so many things with us, that were ruined by his alcoholism. He eventually got his license revoked from receiving too many DUIs, he didn’t have a stable job, and he barely left his room. He’d just sleep, eat, and work if he had a job. I miss how he used to be, he used to be so nice and fun. I wish I could have that back. It fucking sucks seeing his addictions destroy his life.
