harm reduction

i work as an outreach peer support worker, im also an addict of crack/cocain. working in the field i've learn so much more about myself and how i can help others that want to moderat their useage of there drug of choice.
if you can keep your housing and pay your bills and have food in you frigde, then your on the right track of harm reduction.
like some one said "nice people take bad drugs"any ways what is addiction? just about anyony and everyone hads an addiction to something, from food to shopping and working or cleaning
if you find yourself doing something all the time then you may have an addiction.

 

I agree with you. I guess it's about what is socially accepted in our society. If you spend all your money on shopping you're a cool hip fashionable person, if you spend all your money on crack you're labeled a criminal. People wake up every morning put on there clothes and go to work. As they get closer to work they realise they are so dam tired and need some caffeine, what's the difference??? Yes coffee doesn't ruin lives, however, the need for something lives in all of us!!!! I have seen on sally jesse or Oprah one day a lady whom spent all of her families life savings on clothes and was so addicted that it had ruined her life!!!!
