Tales from the bottom of society, as recalled from my experiences as a homeless meth addict and alcoholic in North Park, San Diego in the 1980's & 90's.
Pinned
My name is Robert, I am an addict.

Before I stuck a needle in my arm, I was an alcoholic and I am still. I attempted many times, and succeeded once at not being an active addict.

This moment is how long I have been clean for 27 years now.

"We did not stop the Holocaust. We did not stop the genocide in Rwanda. We did not stop the genocide in Srebrenica. We must stop the genocide in Gaza.
There are no excuses anymore. None." - President of Slovenia Natasa Pirc Musar.

Trump wants all of the authority and none of the responsibility.

Trump wants all of the credit and none of the blame.

Trump wants all of the fame and none of the ridicule.

Trump is a weak man who holds one of the most powerful offices in the world—a dangerous combination.

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

McGovern: People voted for lower egg prices, not for a Middle East Mar-a-lago. People did not vote to send their sons and daughters into the tunnels of Gaza so that Jared Kushner and Donald Trump can build Trump Tower Gaza.

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms.

The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

While it is on my mind... That time I had to move my camp and all my stuff from an alley because the cops were harassing me again, I somehow found a sheet of plywood and I attached some furniture dollys to it.

Before IV drugs:
CB, Donny Ray, and I would all sell our plasma on different days 2 times each a week, I got us a table for a few hours at The Limerick Room, cheep beer was the draw, then down to the mission for a forced prayer/worship to earn dinner before heading back to camp with some Night Train

I have no idea how it started, But I know that the beginning of the end was thinking I could sneak some weed into San Diego County Jail (the old one). Many times I had been thru that door and into the fish tank, But this time was different, I was in possession of a quarter ounce of weed.
