Sorry for your loss. He had a big personality and was very entertaining on the forum, especially in the dating threads.

I know that I got on his **** list a while back trying to get him off of the Suboxone, but when he finally kicked it he came back and apologized to me because he knew the crap was no good for him. Sorry to hear that he lost his battle

He used everybody around him especially his father and had a very nonchalant attitude about all his problems. I seen right thru him and mentioned it many times even (unfortunately) predicting his probable demise because to him it was just a joke. For himself and everybody else that he constantly conned he is in a better place. It was inevitable.

man, sounds like you know him very well. he would always dodge me when he was using becuase he knew i wasn't an enabler. I would see through his ****. You're right he didn't take it serious. he dropped 100k in the last 12 months on dope. His dad was a god damn saint, but his parents have money and would drop thousands on treatment just for him to slap them in the face and go right back to it.. His struggle was real and he always told me he wanted to die with his true love... i'm pissed off at him but i'm glad he's not lying and suffering with those demons anymore.

I took some **** for saying that he wasn't taking the addiction seriously and saying the next time he used, he would likely OD. Tough love didn't work. I guess he just didn't want to see it. Unfortunate. A moment of silence for Mr. Nubain.

There's not an addict in the world who doesn't empathize with what you just said. Poignant as hell.
