From the story: "It gets to the point that it’s not about being high, it’s about not being sick". That's scary!

Of course,I don't see the point of using Boeing in the headline. Robberies notwithstanding, the problems of addiction would have been the same for any one else, too.

Boeing engineer = "he was smart, he had achieved things with his life, he was a professional" - and yet it happened to him.

Economical headline writing.

Interesting twist. I am a high functioning addict in a top tier company who has dabbled in the more extreme drugs in the past two years. I am alone. All family is deceased. I can't seek help via EAP because I will be judged and labeled. What do I do?

I’m afraid I don’t quite know how EAP works and am sorry to hear about your addiction. One advice If I may : no one quite cares about you for their judgements to matter. Your life is yours alone and in the interest of your life and health, please do get some help.
