Well your experience visiting would likely be different than me who basically lived on the street of Berkeley and Vallejo for years. Of course there are AMAZING people there all over the place who would take you in like that. There is also a lot of ugly stuff man.
- this. Sorry you struggled snafu. One day I might post about the shit in the shelter...it's been traumatic sometimes..and I was living in a vehicle before. There are good and bad, like in every community. There's good people trying to survive and bad people taking advantage...
Duality. Good and bad everywhere in every facet of this universe.
You're so right about fent. It's such an empty drug. There is no high. And the withdrawals are worse, or at least longer lasting than heroin IMO.

I think you're on the same page with a majority of this forum in terms of what you consider "sobriety" (in very loose quotes).
I'll take that as I'm welcome and an invitation to chat! Thank you. Politics, huh..discord would be great. I'm pretty tired of pretending to be perfectly sober and well behaved. At this rate I'll snap and it will be ugly at best. Really nice to meet you, snafu, glad you got out of the street scene. It's so dangerous. Sorry I was grouchy...I think you're on the same page with a majority of this forum in terms of what you consider "sobriety" (in very loose quotes).
It's all about what people can handle and still function and be happy/good human beings.
You live in SF and your family gives you shit about weed?
Hell, my family felt the full wrath of my heroin addiction. I took everything from them... and still to this day they will gladly hand me a beer and a joint and think nothing of it. (still a bit weird to me.... but I go with it haha)
How are things going otherwise?
I'd really love to see you post and open up on other sides of the forum
You fit in here like a brick in the wall and we would love to have you and talk about whatever :D it's not all doom and gloom here. We write poetry, post photography, talk about politics (*disclaimer: beware), chat about random stuff. We have a discord if you're interested.

...I have one sister, she's lovely and very straightlaced, she's not in California...I think you're on the same page with a majority of this forum in terms of what you consider "sobriety" (in very loose quotes).

because politics are divisive and cause a lot of drama and emotions that are not conducive to a supportive community unrelated to them
I'm not just being cute, but I'm sure you and a lot of people here have some noteworthy stories in life worthy of a book or at least some poetry. I try to express mine in poetry. "Try". I like to write. It helps me deal with it all.
)hahaha
That bad?!! (Edit)...dammit I almost messed up already!!!
Got it! Will be careful!! No politics, no corona! Just smack and music! I'm dating myself here...but saw nirvana live once..
I try my best and those posts still lure me and trap me into posting sometimes. That's what they want. Don't let them have it. Those threads are cesspools of toxicity and drama. Many men and women have fallen due to such threads. Don't be fooled.
Look! A bird! A beautiful bird! Up in the sky! Look now! A beautiful bird!
