Phillip Seymour Hoffman found dead

Because often they think they are indestructible. I know what happens often with addicts, is if they relapse after recovery, they use what they were used to BEFORE they cleaned up..and it becomes too much for their newly clean system.

That's what happened with my dad, he was 47. Lost everything he owned and finally sobered up and moved in with my mom. He relapsed one day and it was too much on his system, shut everything down instantly. My mom came home and found him on the bedroom floor, she tried CPR but he was already gone.
