I lived on the streets as a junky bum and a speed freak until I was 38, it is nothing to write home to mom about or joke about.
Just don't get homeless because not having a place to sleep at night or having to stand at a 7/11 or a gas station to panhandle for food or drugs is degrading and depressing.
I have been off of drugs for almost 7 years now and I have a good place to live with a cool women, life is good now.
