this is going to sound really cold...


I couldn't feel sorry for them. Now I know some people have had really bad childhoods and so they turn to drugs. But I was watching early on emorning and I was thnking they need to OD to take them out of their misery. I felt bad for her son. Why go to Detox when all they were going to do is get high again?

yeah, it's not the warmest fuzziest comment in the world, but whether they live on the streets for another 10 hours or another 10 years, they're already dead....

Detox? Free temp bed.. free food... no hustling.. it's a holiday for junkies.

You're not supposed to feel empathy or sympathy for them.

There is nothing warm or fuzzy about it I think you hit the nail on the head. The only time they want to get clean is when they hit a wall and can't hustle enough for a decent fix only enough at most for a don't get sick hit. The program offers better detox drugs than what they can get and a warm bed. They recharge leave and start all over again.
