I did not write this myself:

I am beyond sick of judgmental ppl. But since y'all wanna speak on my favorite topic. Let's chat. Ever been to the trap houses? Ever sat down with the "dirty trashy addicts" and tried to figure out how they got there? I have. How many addicts have had all their stuff stolen? If you have no ID you can't get an ID. If you have no shower or clean clothes then how do you get a job? If you haven't eaten in a week or two and you have no job and no ID then how do you buy food? Do you know that a bag of m**h costs just as much as a meal at McDonald's? And that McDonald's is gonna go thru your system and your gonna be hungry again in a few hrs. That bag of m**h is gonna block the hunger pains for at least a day. Do you know that to enter a rehab you can't talk to your family for at least a week, you can't smoke and you can have no caffeine? So basically your withdrawing from everything your system knows all while being completely isolated and probably locked up with ppl that you dont like or that make you uncomfortable. Now let's talk about what can be done. Let's create some sort of liason with social security and vital statistics so these ppl can get an ID. They cant get a job or a room or visit the food pantries without it. Y'all mock the crazy lady with the shovel walking around in her underwear. She was trying to make money while everyone mocked her. Ever been exposed to the elements 24 hrs a day. Ever been hungry, cold, or roasting hot for more than a few hours. These ppl are stronger than you think. I've sat in trap houses and watched m**h heads paint pictures Picasso would envy. Ive watched young ppl blow the most beautiful glass bubbles with nothing but a blow torch and his lips. I've seen ppl buy speakers for $20 and flip em for $150. I've met singers, and dancers, and poets that wrote sonnets so deep your heart cries. But instead of tapping into that energy and talent we mock it cuz we don't know what it's like to live that life. We didn't always have houses and electricity and wifi. These ppl survive or how they can and who are we to say they can't sleep next to a river that belongs not to us but to the universe? Don't like the mess? Cool, create fire pits, put a few trash cans out and some needle disposal boxes. How about we fund a few shelters along the river instead of huge useless round abouts. And how about for community service we make these bad kids go out on the weekends and clean up the riverbanks? They want gang nonsense? Ok, letโ€™s give em chain gangs and maybe in the meantime they can get a lil taste of the hard life. Prison is nothing compared to the life these ppl live. Prison provides 3 meals, healthcare, and temperature regulation, work programs, education, and tv. The homeless have access to none. Stop complaining and get your boujee behinds out from behind the dern screens and talk to ppl. Buy em a cup of coffee, offer them a tampon, some deodorant or a change of clothes and show them you care. Even if you can't save them, you've showed them that they are worth it and loved and that's what the world needs more of. I've been in that life when I was in my active use. No one is better than anyone else. We are equal. The stuff we go through may be different, or maybe your problems aren't visible to others but everyone has som**hing. Stop judging and show more love!๐Ÿ’ฏ
๐Ÿ›‘๐Ÿ›‘ **Now take less than 30 seconds and do us all flippin favor, copy & paste this stuff.... why? because itโ€™s nuttin but the truth. Dont ever forget the help we get from random acts of kindness or the person who took a chance with you to help you outta hole.

The theory of one...

What is it? It is the idea that making one change, one step that is positive in your life can change everything. It doesn't have to be grand, or a giant, jump in blind with both feet kind of change. Maybe it's just waking up and making your bed, or beginning your day with 5 jumping Jack's. Sounds insignificant and silly, but your brain will see it differently. One change in your routine can make a huge IMPACT.

What is the one change you can make today to better your own world?

Did you know? September is National Recovery Month??

Why is no one talking about this?? Are you still anonymous?

Did you know? People do recover!!

Did you know? according to the NCDAS website, approximately 1.16 million people will be arrested each year on drug offenses, and leavenworth is the heartbeat of multiple prisons. Of these, 80% of inmates have drug or alcohol dependencies.
more than 106,000 overdose deaths were reported during 2021 according to the NIDA.

Did you know?? Without recovery, people living with addictions will always end up in jail, institutions or death. that is our only options. For me?
I could not let these be my only way out.
I did not want to be another statistic.
I took the hard way out. Want to know more?
