Been a long time so just gonna get to it...

Last night I got the most random, eye opening phone call I've ever received. A friend of mine from high school had relapsed after 8 months of sobriety and needed someone to talk to. The thing is I never even knew he was a drug addict and that his addiction started back in 9th grade.

I've never heard someone, who always looked so content and was able to put a smile on anyones face, so deeply depressed and so lonely.
I couldn't believe I didn't notice anything that I wasn't able to pick up one thing to spark my curiosity so that I could have maybe helped back then.

We talked for a little over an hour and I listened to everything he said and then I did my absolute best to reassure him he was not alone in this and that if he ever needs to talk no matter what time of day or night that I'm here. I did my best to reassure him that there are people in his life who do care and that he's not as alone as he feels. God I hope he makes it through this...
