It is very sad how society looks at addicts. Especially the medical profession. You would think that they would be at least a little bit understanding. But sad to say, that is not always the case. I work in a halfway house, and we had to call the cops one night, because we had a resident that was acting crazy. When the cops got here, and we explained to them what had happened, they just looked at us with disgust in their eyes and told us that there was nothing that they could do. It brought tears to my eyes. It was like they were looking down on us. And we (the resident manager and myself) are in recovery, and we still got that look. But anyways, I guess I just have to get into some acceptance!!
My prayers are with this gentleman and his girlfriend!
