I was falling in a downward spiral towards a point of no return. Over the years, I turned to cocaine, marijuana and alcohol under a false belief it would allow me to escape my problems. It just made things worse. I had everything, a good job, money, a loving family, yet I felt so empty inside. As if I had nothing. Over twenty years of using, I kept saying to myself, I’m going to stop permanently after using this last time. It never happened. There were even moments I had thought of giving up on life.” —John]]> 2016-10-24 05:32:40 UTC https://padlet.com/d_plair/wn4p6qggbd44/wish/132604719 d_plair https://padlet.com/d_plair/wn4p6qggbd44/wish/132605610 People become homeless everyday all day.
