In this podcast about the life of Roy, we learn how a subtle, slippery slope can lead to an unwelcome destiny.

We learn that:

  1. What starts out as an innocent friendship can morph gradually into a using and drinking companionship.
  2. Roy had no clue as to what his life was becoming. The desire to smoke weed and drink alcohol overtook his ambition to finish his studies at UCLA.
  3. That seemed to be the real signal that his life was taking the wrong turn. While I went forward - for quite a while - he went backward, and our paths never converged again.
  4. The last time he was seen, Roy showed the dire effects of a life-long habit of abusing drugs and alcohol.
  5. He never did get it and paid the price. I did end up paying a price, but somehow the gods had a different destination in mind.
