It's a vicious reminder that addiction, alcoholism, these things, they do not discriminate. They are all around us. We may not like it. We may not like to admit it. We may not pay attention to it, but man, it's there. It's not just the guy brown bagging it on the street corner. That's where we might all end up at the end of the day, but that's not where we all are. We're all around.
