Hmmm, has he ever thought of rehab....find others ways to focus or meeting he can go to or people he can call when he feels the urge to blow/snort/or whatever. Maybe find out why he does it, and deal with that issue. He has found that cold turkey does not work for him, and for most of them it doesn't without some assistance.

Thanks for responding to my previous review. And NO, I wouldn't expect you to try to re-write any part of your story. In a way, I wish things were really more like this when it comes to drug addicts. It would be a lot less heartbreaking. And as far as the reality of it, I've kind of rethought my opinion on the subject. Reality wise, the drug use/reference in the last few chapters is no different than the "all too perfect" sex scenes that people write. And hell, those sex scenes are half the reason I read this stuff. It's all meant to be a little too good or a little too unique, otherwise it would be boring. The reality of a drug addict that's going to relapse for the next 15 years is not something I would want to read anyway.... anymore than a sex scene that describes in detail the Urinary Tract Infection that Buffy got because she failed to pee immediately after sex . Too much reality is not good. I commend you for taking on a subject like this, and consider yourself fortunate that you don't know more about the drugs your writing about. I can't wait for the next chapter. Take care.
Author's Response: Thank you- that review really made me smile. And I agree with you on the sex scenes:)
