Thumbs up How the World Sees a Drug Addict - Shannon Palmer

I absolutely love this article! It is so articulately written and is a very powerful and inspirational tool for me in my fight to maintain sobriety. I would like to share it with you all here at SR and thank Shannon Palmer on Henry Harbor’s website. Please all read this for motivation in our everyday battle.

I have not posted enough to be able to post hyperlinks in the SR forum but do a search for it in Google:

The article is the first on. It is so powerful and honest.

God Bless all of us.

Gosh, I wish I had written this piece. It say so much of what I want to say, including:

Most of the recovering addicts I’ve met are amazing individuals, and this world is a better place for their being here. And many of them wouldn’t be the healthy contributions to society they are today, had they not first been addicts.
and

Imagine what it must feel like to believe there is no alternative; to see no other option, to just sit there all alone on the floor in front of your toilet with a needle in your arm knowing that you might lose everyone you love, everything you’ve worked for, for years. In fact, you might lose your life. And, in fact, you might welcome just that. These people need love, not more fuel poured on the fire of their self-loathing.
Thank you for sharing, ms.
