ADVICE GIVEN TO KIRK DOUGLAS AFTER HIS SON DIED FROM A DRUG OVERDOSE

11/12/2018

 
Addiction is sadly common in our culture.  I have attended the funerals of too many young adults who died as a result of their addiction.  So it was with a focused interest that I came across some wisdom offered to Kirk Douglas when his 46 year old son, Eric, was found dead, the result of a drug overdose.  His son had struggled with addiction issues for decades.

Of course, the actor and his wife, Anne, were devastated by the unnecessary death of their son and looked inward to see "what, if anything, we did wrong."  Though nothing could relieve their immense pain, one counselor reminded the Douglas' of the three Cs concerning family addicts:
  1. You didn't cause it.
  2. You can't cure it.
  3. You can't control it.
Those three Cs should be factored into the mind of every parent dealing with an adult child who is an addict.
