But he still suffers because of something that happened when he was fifteen.
The memories still haunt him to this day.
He went to his friend's house and forgot to put his drugs away.
His twelve year old brother found the drugs and he took them.
He overdosed and it killed him.
Now the older brother has been consumed by guilt and he's in a lot of pain.
He killed his brother with heroin and cocaine.
It happened over twenty years ago but he still cries.
His parents told him that they wish he would've been the one who died.
His therapist tells him that he needs to forgive himself so that he can start to heal.
But he's afraid that he never will.
Now he's started traveling around the country to help kids.
He convinces them not to use drugs like he did.
