What is a day in the life of a drug addict or alcoholic like?
Awful! Imagine being on dangerous streets, lonely, depressed, out of money and sicker than you can describe. Consider one with friend and family relationships destroyed, angry, unhappy and no where to turn because of having burned every bridge. While you may not be able to imagine such a set of circumstances, this is exactly where many chemically-dependent people live. Nearly every addict in treatment testifies to experiencing what they believed they never would have experienced before becoming strung out. Many even admit to turning to criminal activities, such as prostitution and theft, to financially support their addiction problem.
