βAs a child I was taught to believe addicts are somehow βbad people.β However, now that I am white-knuckling through my own sobriety and recovery, I am finding these so-called βbad peopleβ are my soulmates.

With all odds against them, addicts do live healthy lives in recovery, and for that, I am grateful.β
