Someone close to him has a disease that has no cure and they're going to die soon.
Usually when people hear that type of news, they embark on a quest to make something out of their lives by teaching others about the disease or doing things they've always wanted to do and all that good stuff.
This person instead probably lost hope, is depressed, and is now wasting their money, time, and life on drugs or alcohol. They're lying to their friends and themselves about their addiction.
And this person is obviously close to him so he can see through this person's lies. He was able to keep his mouth shut for a while, probably in hopes that the person would change their ways, but they kept walking down the dark path and is now confronting them.
