      How do you know he's telling the truth? He's leaving a lot of his own bad behavior out. Where does he get the money for all those drugs? How many crimes does he commit on a daily basis?

    Chris said it correctly: it started with alcohol. It's not that everyone who drinks is going to end up on the streets, but you can bet your last dollar that 99+% of those on the streets started with alcohol.
    I knew Chris as a young man - he was kind, gracious and despite his immense talent, humble. I hope that he has found some peace.

    The ambivalence that you described between the physical man and the spiritual man is the hallmark of addiction. This wanting to use and not wanting to use simultaneously, is a very uncomfortable place to be. I know it well. My prayers are with you, my brother.
