A few years ago, I met a man in Texas who was struggling with a severe addiction to crack cocaine. One day, he was driving around with his young son in the car when he got into a serious car accident. His son was badly injured and needed immediate medical attention, but instead of taking him to the hospital, the man chose to go to a crack house to get his fix. His son died as a result of his injuries. The man told me that he still thinks about his son every day and regrets his decision to put drugs ahead of his child. He said that he would give anything to have a chance to go back and change that decision, but he knows that it's too late. This man's story is a tragic example of how addiction can cause people to make terrible choices that they would never make if they were sober. It's a reminder of how important it is to get help for addiction before it's too late.
