3. Yup, me too.

I walked that fine poverty-line through my decade of full-contact alcoholism. Then, with the help people who know how to not drink, at 35, the plug went into the jug for good. I’m 73 now, been sober for close to 38 years. We never had to trudge the poverty line again thanks to the good orderly direction from a group of old drunks.

What kills me today is so, so many homeless in my area are families with children, families who aren’t drinking or using but simply could not make it for one reason or another.

So much goes to waste now: food, housing, warm clothes….and it’s just pure hate which blocks so many from access to this surplus.

4. It did teach me how to live cheaply.

50 years later I'm still good. at finding free and dirt cheap stuff. I waste less too.
Later, while still young and got a steady job, I got into trouble with a credit card. After digging out of that, I said never again and never went into debt again. Haven't had a car payment after 1982.

5. Indeed, everything has two sides.

Hope it works out well for all in the long run.
