I'm sorry about the gift card suggestion, am I forgiven?
There is nothing to forgive so no worries! Most people have no idea how very very very resourceful addicts are. Discussions like this open people's eyes to what an addict will do for drugs. Food cards are provided by the government.....those are used as currency for drugs all the time. Many people aren't aware of that. Anything of value can be used as "currency" for drugs. Anything.
