Theo Fleury had many tools he used for dealing with the problems of his past. The tools were sex, gambling, alcohol and drugs. Theo would go out almost every night and party, drink, sleep around, and do drugs to the point where it was a normal routine for him. Theo’s drug use reached an all time high at the end of Page 171-173. Theo and the guys from his team were out at a bar they usually go to when he thought “Fuck, I need some coke” (Pg 171). Theo started talking to a man at the bar and was able to get himself some, out of respect for the guys on the team he waited for them to head back before he started indulging in his addiction. The next day when he got home, he was sitting on the floor playing with Beaux when he jumped up and started pacing. Theo though “i have finally accomplished what i have wanted to accomplish for a long time. I am going to die.” (Pg 172). It turns out Theo had overdosed on crystal methamphetamine. In my opinion this is one of the all time lows you see Theo get to in the book and during his life. Do you think that death is really what he wanted? Or that it was just an in the moment type of feeling?
