Most addictions are hard to beat...recovery rates for Meth addiction hovers around 5%, a statistic that is hard to really analyze and find a better path forward. Unfortunately, the treatment numbers only reflect those that wanted help, not those in the death spiral not seeking resolution.
I do not have an answer to the problem, only that for the grace of God go I and many others...
BTW, if I have the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Tobra, I will shave my had and wear earmuffs
