I have dealt with people who suffer from addiction first hand, and getting clean/sober is not an easy road.

To me, it seemed he really wanted to get better. He gave rehab a go and seemed to honestly want to get better. You have no idea how many addicts won't even think of going to rehab or even admit they have a problem.

He did have a great life (now), but he got addicted at thirteen. I can't even image the fight had with drugs and getting clean. He was honest with people about his struggle as well. That takes a lot of courage.

He just relapsed. I really don't think he wanted to throw everything in his life away (I have seen people who have). He just lost the struggle against a disease that he had suffered from since childhood.

He slipped up. It's sad.

Nothing to add, just wanted to state my agreement.

agreed--and iirc, he actually checked himself into rehab more than once.

I'd lay odds he didn't fully contemplate the effect things would have on him after "drying up"

Some of the worst addicts of a certain type deliberately "dry up" sometimes even by going to rehab for a while just so they can afford the habit when they are using.

This is late, so who knows if you'll see this.

I know that addicts can do that. But Cory (as far as I know), had only been to rehab before at 19. That doesn't fit his history.

However, he might not have known how horrible the withdrawl would be and need of having drugs back in his system. Or he may have recalled it, but thought he had more strength to fight against the need of using. We'll never know.
