We received a call today for an individual that needs detox. The problem is he has no money. Why as a society if an individual wants help, needs help is entitled to being help they can not get the help they need? When we had our sober living house we would give beds away to help someone who was willing to do the footwork and start to pay us back. Many times they weren't able to pay us back and they were able to get back on their feet all because someone was willing to reach out a hand. About the only place you can do that today is the Salvation Army and Brother Benno's in Oceanside, CA and Charlie Street in Costa Mesa.
I pray there are others. However, if you are coming off prescription drugs and or alcohol, in many cases you need a medical detox. Try and get one, at least in California. We are all on this planet together, no matter how important we think we are, we are one. There for the grace of your Higher Power, go you or I.
Isn't about time we start to give a damn about other people? Let me know what you think
