Thank you guys. But I feel like I have to say that while Mom and I try and be good people, the person we helped today is truly the good person. I've seen SOOOOO many people screw us over. I could be so justifiably jaded and tell all of them and any future ones to eff off.
But this guy is one of the 10% who make me want to not give up. He IS a good person. He has some nasty demons, for sure, but those demons aren't who he is. Because of his goodness, and the fact that I have personally witnessed him saving many other addicts' asses, Mom and I stepped up for him. He EARNED our faith in him.
I'm just praying he is on that bus tomorrow morning. He promised to call us soon and update us. I hope he does.
