Addiction pays

That is a very sad thing to hear. I hope that your cousin will find the strength to give up his addictions as soon as possible. I'm sure there are people willing to help him, but their efforts will be useless if he doesn't have the will to help himself before it's too late.

37 and look like 60 ! oh my god He need help that too professional if it has gone that extend. Most of the people who are severely addicted can not break free without profession help. I also think it has something to do wtih locality too. With that movie coming udta punjab there are talks going on in town about how much youth in punjab is addicted Dont know facts but it seems it has become there too common to be addict. Peer pressure palys important role in such a cases. May be his parents should send him somewhere where such a things are no easily accessible.

Addiction can be bad for your health. Does he exercise regularly?

Sorry to hear about your cousin's unhealthy vices. Didn't anyone from your family helped him to get over his addiction?
