“I remember feeling relieved not to have to worry about things like, where will I get my next meal, I need shoes what am I going to do, or its cold out where am I going to sleep.”

“For two years, I slept in my car, that’s two winters. I remember buying a shower curtain to use as a privacy screen while I slept and made sure I didn’t drink any water after 5 pm because there was no bathroom to use.”

“My addiction caused me to lose everything. My job, my car, my home, my support system. I made the decision that I had to get well, or I was going to die.”
