    To the person who asked "Why did his family not help him" They did and unless you have ever been an addict or have had someone close to you who is or has been you would not understand. There is NOTHING anyone could do to help Carlos even though there were plenty of things they tried he was not ready, The power of addiction is so intense it is not easily broken no treatment center, program, rehab, jail not even his beautiful daughter, His loving parents, His younger brother and sister or even his big sister could pull him from this "evil monster" that took him to his grave. The reality of all this is addicts are always addicts even after they become clean they wake up everyday for the rest of their lives fighting to stay clean not because of "Family" or "Treatment" but because they themselves have had enough. To Carlos's family thank you for sharing your amazing story. Through this Carlos' story is helping so many other people who are going through the never ending battle of addiction. To Karen, Bob, Lindsey, Joe and Cat I'm sorry this world is filled with so many ignorant people in this world with words of hurt but from personally knowing you, I know as well as many other people you guys did all you could most importantly you never stopped loving him and you are sharing his story to help others.
