My experience of losing a friend to heroin (2020)
This is a sad story. I have lots of sympathy.<p>But I can&#x27;t help but think this is a spiritual problem.<p>In particular, rehab seems utterly useless. Obviously, it helps them get over the chemical dependency. But it seems to completely neglect the spiritual one.<p>Unfortunately you cannot install the spiritual tools that lead to non nihilism later in life which is why childhood spirituality and culture are so important. Many parents and our entire culture have crossed Chesterton&#x27;s fence but have run so far away we can&#x27;t see the fence in hindsight and can&#x27;t put two and two together that it prevented us from the cliff.
