This type of lifestyle feels so far away, but it’s not. In around the block, on the streets, in the shadows. I don’t know how you do it Robert. You lost your brother to drugs, I lost a sister. She didn’t want to be saved, she wanted an exit and found one. I admire the work you do…
Thank you, John. I really appreciate your comment, and sharing about your sister. I know it hits close to home for you.
To be honest with you, I'm not always sure how I do it either! It's not easy to hold this space.
Sometimes it comes down to how I define success. There are times when a person will let me help them get into treatment, and I am happy to say a few of my clients have been sober for several years now. This is an incredible feat, especially for the ones who were street entrenched. But mostly how I do it is just treating people who have been really hurt with kindness; listening to their stories, providing services where I can, and treating them like a fellow human navigating the complexities of experience.
so glad you were there. love you.
Thank you, my friend - not only for your time in reading this, but for everything you do. Much love.
