It amazes me, and I am glad, that some people overcome their addictions. Believe me, it's not the easiest thing to do. It really is a struggle that can make you lose your mind. Yes, it's unfortunate, that some folks won't make it. The last statistic I read said something like 97 people die from drug addiction every day in the U.S. That's a lot. Hopefully, that number will decrease as people find reasons to live.
