  1. That's amazing that you were able to stop yourself from going down to the bottom of that spiral. Keep up the fight! We're all rooting for you.

  2. Nobody is addicted to drugs or alcohol because of happiness.

  3. The Canadian government has policies were doctors have literally suggested it for people who are in severe debt and elderly. I'm not kidding. I've seen news reports about it. There's a big difference between having something available vs actually actively suggesting it to people who are in a bad spot.  @RAINRDY

  4. I live in Vancouver Canada and work right in the middle of the worst drug neighbourhood and all the time the workers talk about how what is going on is not compassion. At all. The policies are enabling this addiction, and the number of hard-core drug users has gone through the roof in the last 10 years and it's heartbreaking. These are people. These are real human beings who are being hurt by this ideology yet anybody who is not far left is thought of as the bad guy. Blows my mind.

  5. In my big city $1 million leaves you literally $1 million away from being able to buy a regular single-family home.

  6. I work with a guy whose son is an EMT in the PNW, and he said one day he had to give naloxone to somebody who was overdosing to save their life. This is pretty common place, but in this instance he had to do this three times to the same young man in the same day. Three times in one day. I didn't know the human body could handle that.

  7. I live in Vancouver Canada and work in the middle of the worst drug district. Every day I see crack pipes and people laying in the street and you have no idea if they are alive or not. I can't remember the last day I didn't see faeces on the street. A girl across the alley works in a clinic whose clients are 75% homeless and the stories she has will absolutely blow your mind.

  8. Children aren't the only ones who require some boundaries and structure. @Marvin-ut4xs
