Lil Wayne not a Unique Situation…

lil-wayne-gq-2As a Lil Wayne fan, I am saddened by the alleged reports that have come out over the past years about him being addicted to Sizzurp (codeine). Whether or not these allegations are true, I am also saddened by the amount of young individuals who are addicted to legal or illegal substances. It has been reported tonight through many sources that Lil Wayne is back in the hospital (http://www.tmz.com/2013/03/15/lil-wayne-seizures-hospitalized-drugs-sizzurp-critical-condition-icu/). Unfortunately, as a Family Law practitioner I have seen my fair share of young adults involved with their own substance abuse issues. As a result, the issues Lil Wayne is facing are not unique to just him, but to many adults. Ultimately, this substance abuse hurts not just the user but the extended family. Recognizing you have an issue is a big part of moving forward in your life. Family Law and Rehabilitation are both about moving forward with your life in the best possible manner.
