A Million Little Pieces

James was put on a "Family Plan". His treatment is no longer the typical group sessions and lectures. Now he meets with a group of patients and their families. They talk about their addictions and how it feels. The families ask questions about the addiction, how it feels, why they do it, and how much does it cost. The patients answer honestly. Before all of this happens, the patient must sit down with their parents and tell them everything about their addiction, how much they use and how often. When James told his parents, they just started to cry. They couldn't even look at their son. I could never do that to someone, especially my parents.
