Yeah. The guy that's stealing to feed his addiction isn't even bowener's brother in a way. The addiction stole the brother long before it stole the jewelry.
The recovery rate for opiates just sucks. I mean, all recovery rates suck, but that one sucks especially. It's a long, hard road back. For most people it requires physical, psychological and spiritual healing on a miraculous level -- not just for the addict, but for the ones who love him as well.
There are no hard and fast rules except for how it inevitably ends if the addict can't figure out a way to fight for his recovery with every ounce of energy he can muster.
I can offer nothing but nothing but prayers for everyone involved.
