I'm sure a lot of us have had a friend like that.

My pal's name is Evan. We played football together and all the other high school stuff. While I went off to Kansas State for college, he stayed home and attended Emporia State. Drank his way out of both an academic and atheletic scholarship. Went into the Navy to set himself straight and got kicked out of sub school and who knows what else. Came back worse than before. Last I saw of him I pulled his butt out of the fire on a felony driving under the influence. Got it done, offered to take him to treatment etc. He didn't need help. Finally had enough. Still see his mom and she's effectively disowned him. Sad case. Hope he comes around but I'm not holding my breath.
