For better or worse. Small scale or large. Personal or shared. What is an event you've experienced that changed the way you act, live, feel, etc. It could be short-term or long. Share what you feel comfortable with. Triumphs and tragedies alike.

I'm not addicted to anything nor was I.

Apologies - I read that as - you saw an OD and then three days later ODED yourself. Because often - when you're in an area that people are ODing - you yourself are at a higher risk of it too. But yeah, I went back and saw how I read what I read - but also see what you're saying and it's solid that you were on the streets but never got addicted to anything because it's super easy. And it really takes some solid conviction to keep yourself safe in a space where you're vulnerable on all sides. I hope you're in a better place now, regardless.

Aye, I didn't mean to sound cross on my response to your post. Thanks for clarifying and I apologize for being, at the very least, short with the response I gave you. I appreciate it and yes, I'm definitely stabilized with housing now. ๐ŸคŸ

F YEAH! It's getting from that shaky part to the stable one that's the hardest. No worries, look I don't know your life you know? You've clearly been through some shit, and it can get people super dee-duper defensive super fast. Cause I know I sure as hell am reactive. But also, you know - I read it wrong and this is al text. You good! Thank you for the apology though, I apologize too - cause I def made some assumptions. Big love <3~!
