This is the first article I've read on addiction from the perspective of someone with your experience. I've read hundreds of stories from other people that were addicted and they're often storirs about how they were struggling through college or their professional lives. The articles can also get repetitive, but your tale touched me more genuinely. I've had periods of homelessness, but I was fortunate enough to have the resources to stay in hotels or motels. Thanks for opening up and sharing this part of your journey. This is really good stuff!!!!! I could feel your anxiety and sorrow with each word.
