Don't blame yourself--you never know what it is that will addict someone you love. I'm afraid of what will happen to my brother if I acknowledge that I tried pot and the like in high school. You never know.

Of course he should blame himself....he gave it to him. Cocaine is known to become extremely addictive even upon first usage, and it's not like that is a hidden fact.

The first thing I thought when I read this, was screw you. How could you destroy your little brother? Not to mention yourself.

You shouldn't have done that to him, or yourself. I'm sorry to hear about that, and I hope he's alright. You, too.
