Heroin use can lead to several cardiovascular conditions. These include heart disease and stroke, which are associated with very high mortality rates (i.e., death). The risk factors for heart disease and stroke include high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. Heroin use doubles the risk of heart disease in some users, while the number of strokes is three times greater compared to non-users. addiction rehab

If you struggle with substance abuse disorder, you are anything but alone. Millions of Americans struggle with drug abuse addiction. Though addiction has the power to ruin lives, recovery is possible. Addiction is a chronic illness, just like arthritis, depression, or autoimmune diseases. While addiction does not have miracle “cures,” you can overcome. Methods like rehab, talk therapy, and medication management help people stay sober.

🍊 Own the Scars by @crinkle-eyed-boo {E, 144k}
“But I don’t belong here,” Louis insists.“Why do you say that?” James asks.“These people are all drug addicts and alcoholics,” Louis shrugs.Something sparks in James’ eyes.“And you’re not?”
Louis has never felt like he was good enough: for his stepdad, for his life-long best friend, for the life he's supposed to want. After an accident that nearly costs him his life, Louis' parents send him to rehab where he’s forced to face his demons. On the long and difficult road to recovery, Louis must confront the truths he’s been avoiding about his future, his relationships, and his sense of self-worth. Because before he can love anyone else, he’s got to learn how to love himself first.
🍊 California Sold by @isthatyoularry {M, 123k}
Notoriously closeted boyband member Harry Styles is famous on a global scale, meanwhile Louis, as his best friend, is back home in Manchester, living the typical life of a 24 year old. When Harry needs Louis with him in LA, a publicity stunt gone wrong changes their friendship forever.
A fake-relationship AU between two lifelong best friends.
🍊 I'll Fly Away by @juliusschmidt {E, 122k}
Harry and Louis grew up together in Lake County, Harry with his mom and stepdad in a tiny cottage on Edward’s Lake and Louis in his family’s farmhouse a few minutes down the road. But after high school, Louis stuck around and Harry did not; Harry went to Chicago where he found a boyfriend and couple of college degrees. Six years later, Harry ends up back in Edwardsville for the summer and he and Louis fall into old patterns and discover new ones.
ft. One Direction, the local boyband; Horan’s Bar and Grill; families, most especially children and babies; Officer Liam Payne; many local festivals and fireworks displays; and Anne Cox, PFLAG President.
🍊 Heading for Limbo by @kingsofeverything {E, 100k}
Childhood best friends who’ve fallen in and out of touch with each other since Louis’ family moved away when they were thirteen, Harry and Louis find their paths crossing again and again. Each time, no matter how many miles apart or how many years it’s been, it’s as if no time has passed. They fall back into their easy friendship, until life intervenes and sends them on their separate ways once more.
When Harry discovers some life-changing things about himself, Louis is there for him, however he needs. But it’s all temporary because Louis has plans that will move his life from New York all the way to L.A. and the distance isn’t the only thing between them.
The pieces of their twice broken hearts are scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
🍊 When the Lights Go Out by thelarenttrap / @antidotetogo {E, 79k}
“Louis, what do you have to say about how last week ended?” the reporter asks. There’s a moment of silence. Harry is looking at the reporter, but eventually gives in and looks down the table at Louis. He’s looking straight ahead, as if Harry isn’t even in the room. “If you can’t take the heat, then get out of the kitchen.” Harry leans forwards, placing his arms on the table and leaning onto them to get as close to his microphone as he can while looking at Louis. “And what’s that supposed to mean?” Louis turns to him, his icy blue eyes meeting Harry's. “Driving is your fuckin’ job, act like it.”
In its near eighty years of existence, Formula 1 has never had an out gay driver. In 2017, Harry Styles signs a contract with Scuderia AlphaTauri alongside his childhood friend and competitor, Louis Tomlinson. The next decade of their careers is some of the most tumultuous press--on and off the track--Formula 1 has ever seen.
aka the one where Louis and Harry are childhood friends to enemies to lovers over the course of 15 ish years.
🍊 Bottom of the Tenth (series) by kikikryslee / @flamboyantommo {M, 60k}
As Harry stood there, the other man turned around, and he knew he was correct in who he thought it was. “Louis?” he asked, still not quite believing it. Louis blinked. “Harry? Wh– what are you doing here?” “I work here,” Harry said. “What are you doing here?” “Um, I’m picking up my brother. The nurse called and said he was sick.” Harry felt like he was going to be sick. “Wait, Ernest is your brother? Since when do you have a brother?” “Since about seven years ago, I guess. Wait, how do you know Ernest?” “I’m his teacher.” “You’re his what?” Louis exclaimed. Harry gulped. This was going to be a long year.
Or, the AU where Louis and Harry were best friends growing up, but lost touch after Harry moved away. Ten years later, Harry has moved back to town, but he and Louis don't pick up where they left off.
🍊 Never Let Me Go by loveisalaserquest17 {E, 55k}
“Harry! I’ll tell you what,” Louis exclaims, clapping his hands together. There’s a big grin on his face. “If both of us are still single by your thirtieth birthday, we’ll marry each other.”Harry’s head snaps up, eyes widening. “What?”
Harry and Louis have been friends forever, but they couldn't be more different. One night, with a little too much alcohol, they make a pact to marry in ten years if they're both still single. Now, one month before the deadline, Louis is willing to do whatever it takes to avoid ending up with his best friend. But is he, really? | Loosely inspired by The 10 Year Plan
🍊 Faking It by TheCellarDoor / @donotdialnine {M, 46k}
A uni AU in which Louis has been Harry’s best friend since he offered him cubed fruit on the playground, and they spend more time cuddling in their dorm beds than they do apart, but it’s not like that. Or is it?
Aka Harry pretends to date his best friend to escape unwanted attention from a too insistent classmate and hopes it won’t blow up in his face. Featuring embarrassing dildo accidents, awkward boners, longing, first times, late night conversations, emotional discoveries and Niall as the exasperated friend with bad advice.
🍊 it always leads to you (in my hometown) by @insightfulinsomniac {E, 40k}
Doncaster hasn’t changed much since Harry left it nine years ago to chase his dreams in LA. Harry, on the other hand, has changed a lot.
Except for one thing — he’s still desperately in love with his childhood best friend and first boyfriend, Louis Tomlinson. Who he hasn’t spoken to for the same nine long years.
A holiday story of returning home — not just to a place, but also to a person. ‘tis the damn season and This Love inspired AU.
🍊 Canyon Moon by delsicle / @eeveedel {E, 40k}
For as long as Louis has remembered, he has been promised to be mated to Harry, his best friend and the future pack alpha. But Louis’s heart belonged to the forest and to the hunt more than he could ever imagine it belonging to Harry.
Then Harry’s father dies in a violent accident, and Louis’s future alpha disappears on the wind.
An A/B/O Lion King AU
🍊 Snow In Love by @lululawrence {NR, 33k}
Harry and Louis are best friends and have been for basically as long as they can remember. For the first time since middle school, they are both single for the holidays leaving them with the brilliant idea to take each other as their dates to work events. To make things easier they will pretend like they’re dating. But then they learn something funny.
People thought they were already dating. Weird.
An advent fic featuring childhood friends, fake dating turned actual dating, really horrible secret keeping, and a winter weather surprise.
🍊 Oh, We're In Love, Aren't We? by Rearviewdreamer / @all-these-larrythings {M, 30k}
After sixteen wonderful years of friendship, it's hard to imagine any grand (and usually dumb) plans they haven't had or some type of mischief they haven't gotten into together. But, when Harry suddenly finds himself without a fiance and Louis just wants to help him feel okay again, they realize falling in love is one thing they haven't done, and that's about to change.
🍊 Forever Never Comes by Larry_you_know / @larryyouknow {M, 25k}
Victorian au, where Harry Styles, the youngest son of the Duke of Sutherland, was always a little in love with his childhood friend Louis Tomlinson, the young Earl of Doncaster, though he would never have told him in a million years. Especially since Louis never showed him any signs of romantic affection. But now Louis has invited him (and his sister Gemma) to London, and many things may not be as they have seemed.
🍊 I Wanna Be More Than Friends by @2tiedships2 {NR, 20k}
He hadn't meant to scent Harry. They were best friends and that was it. Scenting best friends wasn't exactly socially acceptable.
"Lou," Harry whispered.
Louis jumped at his name and sat up straighter to provide a bit of distance between himself and Harry.
"You can't scent me, Lou," Harry stated.
Which of course Louis couldn't scent him. They were best friends.
"I mean," Harry continued. "I wouldn't mind exactly, but if I can't scent you, I don't think you should scent me."
"What do you mean you can't scent me? I mean, I get it because we're best friends but..."
"I mean I can't smell you, Louis. I fucking can't smell you. I can't smell anything, okay?"
Or the one where Harry’s an alpha with no sense of smell, Louis’ an omega who isn’t allowed to scent his best friend, and that’s all they’ll ever be. Obviously.
🍊 threadbare by kiwikero / @icanhazzalou {M, 20k}
Harry Styles was eight years old when Louis Tomlinson kept him from falling into a machine in a Manchester textile mill.
He was 18 years old when nothing, not even the threat of death, could keep Harry from falling in love with Louis.
🍊 Restless Lane by @jaerie {E, 14k}
Louis had grown used to his boring life back in Mississippi as a stand-in father figure to his siblings. He never expected his childhood friend to show up on his lawn with the heat of summer or that he would remind Louis how much of himself he'd tucked away and neglected. He also never expected to find himself caught up in a tangled web of feelings or secrets that just might break him. Maybe he had never known Harry at all.
🍊 you and I love like it's a secret by we_are_the_same / @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed {T, 4k}
Louis swallows, looking at Harry, who grins at him as though nothing’s wrong. He’s leaning against the door of a wardrobe, his long hair having lost some of its curls due to the amount of times he’s run his fingers through it. Louis is still where he was the moment the door got closed behind them, all but pressed up against the wood, trying to keep as much distance between him and Harry as possible.
His heart stutters in his chest as he looks up at his best friend. He’s known Harry since he was barely out of diapers, and Harry gets him in a way that few people ever have – or have tried to. He knows him, to the point where sometimes Louis worries that he’s able to read his mind.
Or: It's Seven minutes in Heaven, but Louis sort of feels like he's ended up in Hell instead when he's forced into a small bedroom with his childhood best friend slash long time crush.
🍊 All The Way Home I'll Be Warm by @justanothershadeofblue {T, 2k}
Harry & Louis jokingly send out holiday cards together as friends, and now everyone is congratulating them for finally getting together. A 5+1 fic, for Christmas.
🍊 What’s in a Name by @hellolovers13 {T, 2k}
Louis had always known Harry was his soulmate.
The name on his arm disagreed.
But what did his soulmark know about true love anyway.
🍊 captivity by momentofclarity / @gaycousinlarry {G, 1k}
you get to a point in life when your secrets aren't as holy as they once were.

Why Didn’t You Tell Me? Chapter 2: Sweet Girl
Tumblr media
Words: 872
warnings: *angst* *fluff* *pregnancy* *mentions of drug* *mentions of alcohol* *rehab* *cussing*
Tumblr media
You wake up from your deep sleep from the sedative. Everything is so hazy and sickening to look at. The pains of the withdrawal are becoming more apparent and you feel so nauseous from the pregnancy and from not using your goods. It's been a rough 16 hours for you. You notice that Nikki is still next to you holding on to your hand. He has his head down staring at the floor. You jolt up from your lying position thinking you're in danger. You forgot the place you were in. You wish this was all a dream. You start to freak out and you get up from bed. 
“Fuck Fuck Fuck.” You say as you freak out. 
"Shhh, it's okay Y/N you're safe. It's better for you if you lay down you look pale,” He says worriedly.
“Nikki I can’t do this please just get me out of here.” You plead with him.
“Y/N it's going to be fine. I spoke with the doctors here and they said I could stay here with you.” He says gently.
You realize there is nothing you can do to get out of this place so you give up and lay down back on your bed. 
“Nikki I have a question,” you say softly 
“What is it?” He asks tenderly holding your hand 
“What happens if I don't listen to the doctors?” You say very exhaustedly.
“Why is that even a question?” Nikki says in an upset tone. 
"You'll only hurt yourself and our baby if you don't listen to them,” Nikki says quietly.
A doctor comes into the room and they start to talk to you about how everything is going to work and how rehab will be since you're pregnant. They ask you if you have your phone and they say you have to give it to them. You hand them your Blackberry phone without fighting anyone. Nikki smiles at you for not protesting. 
“Okay the bathroom is right there but it will have a door that doesn't lock.” The male doctor says.
The doctor starts to walk out of your room.  
“Nikki I feel sick and I need to puke,” you say.
Nikki quickly gets up and grabs a bucket from the room.
“Here puke in this,” He says.
You start to heave everything in your stomach. Nikki rubs your back and tries to support you with everything you feel. 
“When will everything be better?” You start to sob.
Nikki doesn't say anything. He can only help you by letting you go through your emotions. He wraps his arms around you. He holds you tenderly in his arms while you sob. He tries so hard for his emotions not to get in the way. He wants to fix everything for you but he can't and that is eating him alive. He rests his chin on your head.
"I'm sorry babe this is my fault. If I had known earlier I could have stopped you from getting into a bad habit,” he says while his tone indicates he is very sad and upset.
"Nikki, it's a girl. Our baby is a girl” you say quietly as you sniffle.
Nikki's face lights up immediately. 
“A girl?” he says as a smile creeps up on his face.
“When did you find out?” Nikki asks curiously.
“A few weeks ago I went to the doctor for an ultrasound and the doctor asked if I wanted to know the baby's gender. I said sure and the doc said it was a girl.”
“Our sweet girl,” Nikki says softly.
He put the palm of his hand on your stomach which was starting to bulge a bit. 
“Our baby is already getting bigger already,” He says with a small smile on his face.
“Nikki, I think after all of this we should just leave this place and move to New York. I hate California”
“I'll think about it,” Nikki says smiling.
The nurse came in accompanying your doctor whose name is Kelly. 
“Hi, I'm Doctor Kelly and I'll be your doctor while you are in rehab. Okay, first things first we have to do an examination. It's protocol and we couldn't do it earlier because you were being uncooperative,” Doctor Kelly says.
“Sorry about that," you mutter.
The nurse and Doctor Kelly bring you and Nikki to an examination room. The doctor has a file in her hand. It says your name on it. 
“Okay, Mrs. Sixx we know that you are three months pregnant is that correct?.” She asks.
“Yes,” you say, avoiding eye contact.
“Okay, first we need to do a physical exam. So we are going to take your height, weight, and blood pressure and then we will move on to other things in a moment.” The doctor says sounding professional. 
“We will also need to make sure the baby is okay if that is okay with you.” She says.
“Sure.” You and Nikki say as you give a smile.
“Is this much nausea normal?” you ask.
“Yeah especially when you're going through withdrawals and the morning sickness.” Doctor Kelly says.
“We also have to take some blood tests to make sure nothing is wrong, is that okay?” She asks you. 
“Yeah,” you reply.

Title: The Things We Leave behind
Author: Briston
Artist: Merv (fruitmixtape)
Rating: Mature
Pairings: Dean/Cas
Length: 52000
Warnings: minor character death, discussion of historical child abuse, substance use disorder.
Tags: Alternate Universe, Angst with a Happy Ending, Established Castiel/Dean Winchester, Divorce Arc, Bad Parent John Winchester, Alcohol Abuse, Rehab, Discussion of Cheating, Alcoholic Dean Winchester, Recovering Alcoholic Dean Winchester
Posting Date: October 31, 2023
Summary: Cas has been getting progressively worried about Dean’s drinking for a while but mentioning it only causes tension in their marriage. The sudden death of Dean’s father brings everything to the breaking point. After a particularly bad fight, his husband seeks solace in whiskey and flirty women in the aftermath. When Cas finds out, he decides he’s had his fill, packs his bags, and leaves. Sam lives in California and has built a career as a well respected addictions counselor. When Cas calls to tell him that Dean is missing on a bender and their marriage is likely over, he drops everything to come to Kansas to find his brother. Dean clearly needs help. Sam convinces him to go with him to California and go through a rehab program. Dean only agrees because Cas refuses to have anything to do with him unless he stops drinking permanently. If he can't, their marriage is finished. Along the way, Sam and Dean discover that their father left them with more than just painful memories of a traumatic childhood. Their half-brother Adam might be exactly who they need to help pull all the fractured pieces together. Cas is giving Dean one last chance to turn things around. Nothing is easy, but maybe it’s still worth fighting for.
Excerpt: “You know the only difference that would have made was that you would be as miserable as he was.” Cas grabbed both of their toothbrushes and toothpaste from the ensuite bathroom, tossing Dean’s his way. “I could’ve tried harder to get him to quit, go to rehab or something.” The toiletries went in the bag with some deodorant, a flannel, and some denim. He shot Cas a dirty look when he heard him huff in exasperation. “How many times did you ask him to quit? Remember when Sam flew in for an intervention? He’s a professional addictions counselor and the only thing that happened was that Sam flew home with a black eye and a refusal to ever come back.” “That’s just because they’re too much alike and can’t stop themselves from fighting.” Dean was starting to raise his voice. Cas wasn’t having any of it. “No,” he knew he sounded snarky as shit but was so very tired of having the same argument about John Winchester’s parenting skills. “It’s because your father is a narcissistic asshole with undiagnosed mental health issues that he self-medicates with whiskey.” Dean walked around the bed to where Cas was and grabbed his arm. The grip wasn’t rough but it wasn’t gentle either. His green eyes were anguished and pleading.   “Don’t say that, he could be dying right now.” Somewhere deep down Cas knew he should be feeling guilty about just how little empathy he had for John right then. He’d feel more compassion for a complete stranger than he did for the man who had hurt Dean again and again, both as a child and as an adult. He felt a small flash of resentment at having to defend Dean from his own negative thinking. “It was always going to be this way with him, Dean. Every counselor you’ve ever had has told you the same thing for years. You are not responsible for fixing him. Don’t kill yourself trying to be accepted by someone who doesn’t even deserve you.”

Jacob Sullivan is a witch that currently resides in Sunny Harbor and has been a Lunar Cove resident for off and on his whole life, but now he's back and building a new life for himself.
ITS THE END OF THE WORLD
GENDER/PRONOUNS: Cis Male, He/Him
DATE OF BIRTH: November 11, 1989
OCCUPATION: Architect 
FACECLAIM: Casey Deidrick
AS WE KNOW IT, AND I FEEL FINE
SPECIES: Witch
INHERENT ABILITIES: Aura Reading, Healing, Teleportation
COVEN POSITION: Advisor
COVEN ABILITY: Electrokinesis
WELCOME TO LUNAR COVE, JACOB SULLIVAN
Trigger Warnings: Adoption, Teen Pregnancy, Miscarriage, Car Accident, Death, Child Death, Mental Health Struggles, Drug Use, Alcoholism, Rehab, Cancer
On November 11th, 1989 Jacob Bennett was born to an unwed mother, the secretary of a wall street tycoon, legally renamed Jacob Sullivan two years after his birth when his mother returned to her hometown of Lunar Cove and married his stepfather; Phil Sullivan. Shortly after remarrying, Jake’s mother had three more children and he became a big brother to three little sisters. Phil adopted Jacob before his first sister was born and treated him just like his own child, though Jacob would continue to have a tumultuous relationship with his birth father.
Growing up, Jake was a rambunctious child. Sensitive and impulsive but deeply loved by his family. He was 10 years old when he came into his first power; Aura Reading. Then came the ability to heal, and in highschool Jake discovered he possessed the power of teleportation.
Senior year, Jacob got his highschool girlfriend pregnant and forewent attending college out of state to stay behind with her and raise their child. He began school at the University of Rhode Island in the fall of 2008.
A few months before her due date, Jacob’s girlfriend was hit by a drunk driver and died upon impact alongside their unborn child. Grief came like a tidal wave, drowning Jacob beneath its weight. A loss that forever changed him, but in the wake of the tragedy his family and coven surrounded him. There was no question after that, Jacob would join Lunar Cove’s coven and came into his fourth and final power; electrokinesis.
Devoted to his family and to the coven, yet still an avid wanderer; Jacob took every opportunity to travel. He used his gift of teleportation to explore the world during holidays from school. Which is what convinced him to leave his hometown when given the chance.
In 2012, Jacob graduated from the University of Rhode Island and accepted an offer from NYU to obtain his masters in architecture. An avid lover of the arts his whole life, Jake was excited to marry his passion and profession. It wasn’t his first time living in the city, either. Growing up, he often spent summers in New York, visiting his father.
During the three year program, Jacob gave himself permission to indulge in life. He eased his long held grief in the beds of women and men alike, drowning his remaining sorrows at the bottom of drink and pill bottles.
A wake up call came the night he and an ex overindulged themselves. He should’ve known better than to let his former partner  behind the wheel in the state they were in. No stranger to the deadly implications of driving under the influence, yet thoughtless to the ramifications of their actions until they collided with a light pole.  In a better state than his once boyfriend, Jake couldn’t watch him die and broke the rules to heal him, promising them both he’d get his head back on straight.
After a stint in self admitted rehab, Jake made peace with his past and became committed to sober living. He graduated with his masters in architecture and was set to take a job out in California when he was called home for an impromptu “family meeting”.
Gathered around his childhood’s kitchen table, his mother broke the news to Jake and his siblings that she had cancer. He didn’t hesitate to move home, turning down his job offer to take one in Lunar Cove.
It was hard for Jake to be back home. Every street corner held memories of his youth, of all that he had lost. He traveled as often as he could to keep his mind busy, using his gifts of teleportation once more to put distance between himself and what hurt. Always coming home after a few weeks, though, remaining a constant support in his family’s lives. During this time, Jake constructed his dream home in Sunny Harbor. A three story craftsman he spared no detail in designing. From an attic with no door, not a problem to a witch with the power of teleportation, where he practiced spells, to a backyard with a pool of his childhood dreams.
In 2022, his mother lost her battle to cancer and Jacob returned to a dark place again. Once more, drowning his grief in bottles and traveling. He spent more time away than before, but came home for good at the start of 2024 when the oldest of his three, little sisters had her first baby. Jake’s first niece, named after their mother, little Emma drowned out all the dark.
As madness descends across Lunar Cove, wreaking havoc in Jake’s once safe haven, he has committed himself to staying put and protecting those he loves. The years of Peter Pan have passed. No longer a lost boy, but a man who must resist the call of Never Never land or risk losing the only real home he’s ever known.

Whoever Loves Her Next - 02
*Trigger warning for mention of drug abuse*
The wait from finding out I was pregnant to getting on the plane was almost unbearable. The soonest flight out of Mason’s home in California wasn’t for another two days, and those two days were full of lies. To myself, my work, and probably worst of all - my parents. I promised them I’d be home after a week and a half of spending time with Mason, and now I was supposed to be exploring some sights for an extra two days. Instead, I’m flying to Florida where Harry has been on his songwriting retreat.
Tumblr media
Thankfully, I had enough trust in our mutual friend Alex to tell me when it was best to come. I’ve known him for years, having met him back when Pink Nemesis was still together. It took Harry a while to introduce me to any of his fellow bandmates or staff, but he eventually caved and took me to see them for my birthday four years ago. Alex had been the one both Harry and I got along with the most, so it made sense that they’d still be working together even after the band split.
Things are so different now than they were then. It hurts somewhere deep in my chest to think back to last year and everything that happened leading up to the end of the band. It started with one of the members going to rehab for a drug overdose, and following more physical fights than I can count on one hand, the final nail in the coffin was Michael.
Because of what happened, nobody blamed Harry for not being able to pick himself back up and plaster a fake smile for concert after concert. Pink Nemesis breaking up was the last thing he wanted, but he had been the first one to suggest the idea. The rest of the members put up little resistance. After six years of constant albums and world tours, they were drained. And now, everyone who had been a part of the band was almost unrecognizable.
While one member returned to a life of working 9-5 and going to church on Sundays, another went solo almost immediately and crashed and burned. The third stayed somewhere in the middle of it all, collaborating with other artists here and there while also settling down with his soon-to-be wife. Then there was Harry.
After Michael, his only comforts were his guitar and bottles of alcohol. I can still remember all the countless times I tried to pull him out of it. Still hear me screaming at him to look at me. Still feel myself walking away from him when he probably needed it most.
As for me, I expected myself to be far from where I am now. After our breakup, I thought I would be out partying with friends until the sun came up.
Tumblr media
I thought I would flirt with guys without a care in the world.
Tumblr media
Hell, I even thought maybe I’d find a new fling.
Tumblr media
But most importantly of all, I thought I’d learn to fall in love with being alive again.
Tumblr media
But I hadn’t done any of that. Instead, I laid in my room crying my heart out when I thought of the fact that Harry and I were over. I remained jobless for over a month just so I could stay home doing nothing all day. I ignored my friends, my family, and the voice telling me that leaving Harry was a mistake.
All of these things had led to this moment. Stepping off the plane and into Alex’s awaiting arms, who is ready to wipe away the tears the moment they fall. I take advantage of the moment of peace being close to him, knowing that all hell would break loose the moment I saw Harry again.

Felix once had it all. A full ride scholarship to a prestigious university for D1 football under his belt, he was going to make something of himself… until the accident. But let’s rewind a bit…. Born December 22nd, 1996, Felix was the bright, shiny, new bouncing baby boy to Mary and Lyle Loomis. Lyle owned the real estate business in town as well as several properties under his belt, Mary had been the younger woman whom he had an affair with. Ending things with his previous marriage to be with Mary, he was proud and cast away thoughts of his previous family in order to welcome Felix. (Felix has two half-siblings from his previous marriage whom he’s never really known - though he has no remorse about that.) Some would say that the way Felix turned out wasn’t really their fault, that the boy just turned sour at a certain age, but Felix knew better.  His mother had developed an addiction to pills in the midst of the marriage with his much older father and addiction just seemed to stick to Felix like a tick after he discovered his mothers lifeless corpse in her bedroom following an overdose. He was thirteen. He grew to resent his father and their relationship became strained. They have a rocky relationship to this day following Felix’ most recent stint in rehab for the same addiction to pills his mother died from. When he was a teenager, his father sought to nip the addiction, sending his son to therapy where Felix would only half listen to the therapist instead of really trying; you can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped.  The only real saving grace that staved off a similar fate to his mothers and killed him too young was football. Felix was a hell of an athlete, popular and charming when he wanted to be; he had everything a guy could want in high school. But his addictions came in the form of alcohol, sex, and drugs. His coach was in on it too - warning him when they would have a drug test for games and things so Felix could clean himself up in time. It worked well and no one really seemed to worry much about Felix as he could throw one hell of a party. Having no one around to call him on his attitude or his addictions, he pushed the limits of his drug use. Driving home intoxicated one night, he drove off the road and crashed into an embankment where he injured his right knee so severely that he had to have a series of surgeries when he was eighteen - a month before graduation and moving onto a Division One school for football.  His football career was over after that.  Losing his mind to his grief over his failed future, hating himself more every day and letting the anger overtake him, he sunk further into his addiction. This would prove nearly fatal as he overdosed on the anniversary of his accident, and (REDACTED SECRET). After this, he knew he needed to get sober. At the time, he was around twenty five-twenty six and admitted himself into a treatment program to try and combat the addictive tendencies he’d harbored for many, many years at this point. He was successful but it took two more tries to get him sobered up and done with the stuff. Even though he couldn’t stand to look at his father, he went to work at Loomis Real Estate as an agent because he truly had no idea what else to do. He’s been sober for around a year and a half now, trying to keep it that way.

I didn’t get it: his last drink was on 2015 but he smoked weed until July 2019?
Sobriety is an oddly personal thing. Like some people don't think smoking weed is a big deal or "not being sober". For example, I have a friend who used to do a lot of coke. Tonnes of it. They went to rehab, didn't work, so they started doing coke again. Eventually, they went off coke and switched to weed. Now, in their mind, this is "no big deal" because weed is far less dangerous and addictive than coke and it's better than being coked up all the time. I can see their argument in a way, and I suppose I'd prefer them to be smoking weed than being on coke.
There's also something referred to as "California sober" which is doing no substances other than weed and a lot of people (especially in California) subscribe to that. Personally, with my own stance on weed, I don't think it's a big deal and it's certainly less harmful than alcohol. However, since sobriety can be a personal thing or open for debate in certain areas, he may have believed smoking pot was being "sober" as long as he didn't drink. Then later decided, for whatever reason, it didn't count. Since there are so many schools of thought on this unless he explains it in greater detail that's the best answer I can give.
