Outside Reading # 4

In the last chapter that I read, I learned how much people can help you when you are going though a rough time in your life. The Doctors tell James that if he ever does drugs or drinks alcohol again, he will die. He has done so much damage to his body by abusing it with drugs that it is a miracle he is alive. With this knowledge, James wanted to give up, do his last dosage of drugs and die. He leaves the rehab center, and on his way out he gets stopped by a man named Leonard. James agrees to stay for 24 hours, and if he still feels like there is no point living he will leave. The next day, Leonard won't leave him alone, he invites James to watch the football game with him. James' brother and his friends come and visit him and bring him gifts. They have a lot of effect on James. He didn't realize before how many people, and how much, people cared about him. James is comforted by the support. With the help of Leonard, his bother and friends, and everyone surrounding him, James ends up staying at they rehab center.
