Addiction Strikes Again

Got a phone call from Uncle John today relaying news that Uncle Chris had called him, inebriated, and had to get something off his chest. He admitted, that in his illness, he had sold the gold watch that grandfather left to him to support his habit. John was upset about it and has tried to track down the watch, in hopes of buying it back.

Now, I don't really give a crap about the watch. I mean it is Chris' to do with as he wishes. As far as I heard, I believe he sold his drum set as well (the man is a SUPERB drummer and has worked with many bands) so for him to sell the watch is not that suprising to me. I'm more concerned that he did this to support his addiction and is in the depths of remorse about why he did it... while he's drunk and continuing to get drunk.

It's just too sad. I just wish he would get help.
