Heroin Ed. Im going to try again tomorrow to get him help. His brother and I have been in touch. I was the first person he leveled with and spilled it all out to. He told me he thought I was the only one he could trust aside from his brother. He knew it would cost him his job but at this point he is unfit to work and knew that going into our sit down today. I told him in our discussion that at this point Im not dealing with this as your boss, but as someone who loves you. The people I don't like, I'll punch without thinking. But those that matter to me, id do anything for. This has me rattled deeply. Ive fired guys over this before, but they weren't guys that I cared about. Temporary labor that proved to be a problem. This young guy mattered to me and even though he doesn't come to work for me anymore I will be there to help him if he chooses to get clean. I told him today I would cancel work for the week and take him anywhere in the lower 48 to get help if he was willing. He is afraid to break it to his parents. I even told him I would hold his job for however long he needed to go away to get clean and start over. He is afraid to face it right now but desperate to get out of the prison he is in. We spent two hours sitting in the truck dealing with this. He just sobbed and sobbed. A 23 year old kid with a heart of gold and strong brain, made a bad choice.......
