Guilty! I don't understand but I never shame. I wonder how people choose a lifestyle that is killing them. They see the initial signs but they don't quit.

My younger brother got missed with drugs and almost got mad. His experience still gives me shivers. He's the last person in my family that I thought would be missed up with drugs.

He knew when he started hallucinating, having bad dreams and getting tensed. But he will withdraw and continue when the signs stop.

"Why did you continue?" I asked him. He doesn't know. Leaving me more confused than ever.

So I stopped trying to understand and started showing empathy. It's okay to not know everything. If someone needs help, give it without trying to get to the bottom of their situation.
