    I’m sorry you had to experience that. I lost a friend in the same situation - only his college roommates knew that he was using hard drugs, he kept it secret from all the rest of us. It made for quite a shock when cocaine stopped his heart at age 22.

    I just wanted to provide some sympathy, a virtual hug, if you will. It’s been 14 years since that friend passed, and I still think about him a lot. I hope you’re doing all right.

      I/we are okay, it was a year ago. We recently all met again, we know each other through him. We as in a group of friends. He never asked for help sadly.

        Do keep in touch with those friends, if you’re able. Over the years, our group realized that the friend we lost was the tie that held us together. I hope someday to see some of our mutual friends again, but between diverse personalities and life paths over the past decade or so, I don’t have high hopes for a reunion.
