Sorry to read about Corey. 'Lucas' is as much of a classic as Fast Times At Ridgemont High.

Just to let you know, I wasn't making an attempt at any shock value. I've had more than one personal experience with drug addiction. Not that I've been addicted, but several close friends have. Dealing with drug addicts can be devastating when you are close to them. I found that I just had to remove myself from their lives. I don't know if you have ever had to deal with addiction ,whether it be yourself or someone close, but it will take a toll on you. It did me. My point was addicts can manage their habits and live fairly long lives. I've known several addicts that have been using for years and can function in the straight world. That's the exception rather than the rule. It can be done though. Every addict I've known was selfish and self centered. The Golden Rule of "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" never really applied to their reality. Done.
