Addict's Almanac
I just stumbled across Contributing Columnist Tye Doudy's second part in a six-part series chronicling his life in addiction on Portland streets over at the Street Roots blog.
Regular readers and writers here know that I'm a recovering addict myself. The experiences that Tye relates are for the most part starkly different than my own for a variety of reasons, having mostly to do with the differences between his living and using in the urban jungle that is Portland and my living and using out in semi-rural and small town western Washington County. But those are more cosmetic differences than anything else.
It may not be everyone's cup of tea but I encourage you to read Tye's series. He's a fantastic writer who is writing about some very gritty, often harsh realities. And for those who are interested, I've left a comment on Tye's second part. It's presently waiting for moderation so I don't know when it'll be approved. But either way, the piece itself is more than worth the effort of clicking on the link and investing a few minutes of your time to read it.
