Tired of this!

I'm tired of everyone thinking that all drug users are good for nothing type people. I was volunteering at a soup kitchen type thing with my coworkers and they kept talking about how everyone there was on drugs and that's why they were homeless. First off ... terribly insulting to homeless people as that is NOT why all people are homeless! There are many other reasons! Yes, being a drug addict can be one reason but it's not the only reason.

Then they get on the topic of drugs, and how drugs are so terrible, they ruin your lives. I wish I could say something, but I can't - it's my job at risk!! But the way they talk about drug users! I just wish I could prove them wrong! But you only hear about the "bad" drug users. The ones that do bad things, or the addicts, and the ones that die. Not the successful ones. Why? Because successful drug users can't talk about their drug use all the time.

I'm just so tired of it. I don't feel like I personally am being judged, because they don't know. But I just ... I hate how they judge drug users in general. It just makes me so angry! It IS possible to be a successful drug user!

Keep in mind that this was being discussed while some people were serving coffee ... you know ... with caffeine (drugs!) in it.
