Triple7,
I have lost several members of my family over the past several years to this very thing. I wish I could tell you what the fix is, but I cannot. The only thing I have found out is that these things do not fix themselves. My brother was following in the family footsteps, but he got lucky. Me and my family refused to let him go down the same way. It was a long hard road, but in the end it took him finding a passion to pull him out of it. He goes through now with our support as well as support groups. The whole tough love concept. It is cheesy, but it works. I wish you the best of luck, and remember, this will not fix itsself.
