I'm not sure why, but it really made me sad to wake up this morning to the radio news that Corey Haim died. I remember him best in The Lost Boys, with Corey Feldman, his life-long friend.

For most of us over 40, we watched these kids grow up on screen. I am just a little older, so it seemed like watching kids my younger brother's age or something. Maybe that's why I think now how sad it is. Corey was just too young to die.

Man I loved him in License to Drive! I'm 33 so not too far behind him. All these child stars peek young and then when they get older they are forgotten and don't know what to do. I think it's a shame that no one stepped in to try and help him but then again he didn't see that he had a problem. Kind of like Lindsay Lohan and Amy Winehouse think they don't have problems.

It's such a waste that someone this talented should die of an overdose. They had such great potential in the industry when they were teens. I just don't get why they stopped acting even if they had to do B list movies, they should have kept on. The sad thing is watched my son head down the same path and he died in jail at 42. It makes me hurt all over again seeing someone this age who didn't have to die.

Man, I'm really sorry about your son. I've seen too many good young people die from drug overdose. It's really weird to know someone for years, watch them grow from a sweet little baby to a really good boy or girl to a teenager and then fall into that hole. Not only is it terribly sad but it's unbelievable. I've known a few that died that way and I still can't believe it. No matter how much time passes, I just can't believe it. I remember all our conversations, still see their faces.

Sorry, I know that's close to home. I will say this, it is therapeutic to be involved in a twelve step program, and to help others in that same shape. Throwing a line to those still alive feels like throwing a line to those that have gone ahead of us.

If a person is involved in the program (AA, NA, CA or Alanon), they'll see plenty alcoholics and addicts that get sober and stay that way. It's heartwarming. Of course, if you're involved, you'll also see some that die drunk and/or high. Many just don't get clean, they can't, and so you see some fall off. You can't save 'em - they have to do it all. But some do it, and when you see that, it's a miracle, a strength, and it's very healing. You may see some fall by the wayside, but you'll see plenty of them rise up out of their wasteland, grow stronger, start families and become pillars of the community. I know one US sentator that's my age, an example of this very thing.
