With everything in the book its hard to lover look the reaction of going down the lions path. This book is filled with the times like this. The death was unfortunate because there was a life pro vibe during each chapter.cristinaro wrote: ↑31 May 2018, 06:41 Didn't you think it was strange that Duke tried to cure Gary of alcoholism, but at the same time initiated him in the use of meth? I know that Gary must have thought that Duke could help him because they shared similar problems. I don't consider Duke to have actually helped Gary change his life. It was more of a combination of his near-death experience and Duke's own death that actually helped Gary see things differently.

Either they will form an addiction themselves or they will completely avoid alcohol or drugs of any kind in order to avoid forming an addiction. In different ways, both of these can help a person feel more in control.
I think I prefer they do the latter, though it is unfortunate that they cannot get help with this issue, so that there is no fear, unforgiveness or other emotional issues within them. That way they can simply make a conscious choice not to want those things rather than a need to feel in control.
