PL, go for it, brother. Hang tough. I don't know what you're in for, and I won't assume, but let me just share this tidbit with you.

My youngest son got buried in the meth world, the whole enchilada for over three years. Down to pale skin and bones, and so little of his soul left that he seemed beyond any and all hope. After three rehabs and a few short jail terms, he was given a final chance to get clean in a halfway house, or be sent to Carson prison.

All his life I offered to get him started playing guitar, but he was never interested. Then one fateful day, while home from the halfway house for the weekend while under my custody, an old high school friend came by for a visit. This kid was sharp and trustworthy, and so I let him hang. He took up playing bass while at college, and suggested that he could teach my kid some easy power chords and they could jam. My son came into the house and asked if he could borrow my guitar and amp, to jam with his friend. Of course I gave an enthusiastic YES!

That was it. He's been clean and responsible for seven years now, and loving playing his guitars. He's just started playing out, together with the same bass player and another friend who took up drums (I taught him some basic rudiments on coffee cans with chop sticks, and a week later helped him buy his first trap set.)

Again, this may not apply to your situation exactly, but I want to encourage you that, in spite of the statistics, it can be done.

Peace and wellness,
Bruce
