In this podcast about the life of Roy, we learn how a subtle, slippery slope can lead to an unwelcome destiny.
We learn that:
- What starts out as an innocent friendship can morph gradually into a using and drinking companionship.
- 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.
- 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.
- The last time he was seen, Roy showed the dire effects of a life-long habit of abusing drugs and alcohol.
- 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.
