Addiction

Its a sad fact but many people have bad Addictions. I'm sure all of us know someone close to us. A family member or close friend that has lost it all. Hit rock bottom and still they keep on going with the Addiction. It takes some people just one time to kick a bad addiction. But some people have a tougher time at it. I have a close friend that lost everything. Me and another close friend saw all the signs coming and sadly it happened. I have a family member that is homeless from Addiction. He is finally in rehab getting some help but will it help? or will he walk away from rehab and be back on the street. Its hard when you see someone close to you on a downward spiral. You can't help someone no matter how much you try. If they don't want any help they won't accept the help at all.

People are so judgemental of homeless people on the street. We all are people and some handle things better than others. People on the streets still deserve respect and to be treated like human beings. I saw a homeless man the other night when it was raining. I took him a bunch of food and handed it to him. He looked surprised and he said to me that I didn't have to do it. I said I know I don't but I'm the type of person that will do what I can. Don't get me wrong I'm not going to be giving out any money. I will buy you some food and a drink. I will put it out in the universe for you to get off the street and get your life back. Addiction is the pink elephant in the room no one wants to talk about. That uncle or aunt when you were a kid that was always drunk on that fire water. Or that step father or mother that was also on that fire water. Some  Addictions are not as bad as those I mentioned but they are bad for you. Over eating or working out too much is also an Addiction.. Do you help your fellow man? Or do you just keep walking? I know that the homeless people here are very aggressive. Still you don't have to help every single one you see. Just when you feel you should. Its the thought that counts and its good karma to be a good person inside and out...Life is hard enough but still we all can do a small part to make things better.
