Losing A Friend

I had the unfortunate experience of losing a very good friend to a drug overdose. My friend had been addicted to heroin for a couple of years, and had been in and out of clinics trying to get clean. A couple of years ago, he had escaped from the clinic where he had been receiving his drug rehabilitation treatment, and immediately found a way to get his hands on drugs. His body was in a very weak state because it was in the middle of withdrawal. He took a dose of heroin that he had been used to taking, but his body could not handle it and he passed away.
