Crackhead

I did an intake with an offender recently who has a drug problem. He's a white male in his 30's. He began drinking about 10 years ago to cope with the pain of a devestating divorce. He said he never really took to liquor or beer, and decided to give powder cocaine a whirl. He took to it. He said at his peak was snorting up to 1/4 oz per night. Then at the suggestion of a friend, he switched over to crack (sadly he was trying to get this friend to stop shooting up, so they agreed to compromise by smoking the shit). He totally and completely took to it. He admitted that he would smoke on average $200 worth of crack a night, and at his peak would spend up to $1000/night. Incredible. I just don't get it.

Oh Blogger, I've saved and published revisions on this post five times now. You keep reverting to the original draft. I'm getting tired of re-typing these changes!! What is going on?!!
