Fading Hero

My cousin Richie, has been my hero since I was 12 years old. He had a drug addiction, and he trumped it, or so we thought. He's replapsed twice since then. Once for about 6 months and he stopped again. Now though, it's worse than ever. No matter what the next high just isn't high enough. He's doing harder drugs and more lethal drugs. We're afraid that if he doesn't stop he'll be dead soon. We've tried reasoning with him, We've tried threatening, he's been in jail and that still didn't help. Now we've turned it over to God. We're praying that he'll get admitted to a facility and that he'll make it through this alive, and with a hard lesson learned.
