  • Any sort of public assistance for substance abuse here that includes housing comes with a laundry list of demands and restrictions, up to and including being locked up like you're in jail while claiming you can leave at any time (nice words, but when you say you want to leave, up come the roadblocks, stonewalling and gaslighting).

    I have more agency and freedom roasting in my van than attempting any sort of help given how demeaning it is. As such, I've stopped bothering and am relying exclusively on networking through all possible channels to get out of this mess.

    • Narcotics/Alcoholic Anonymous groups are good networking options, aren't they?

      • Way too much Jesus for me. I was court-ordered to go to AA meetings after a 2005 DUI, and there is nothing in the world that makes me want to drink more than an AA meeting. It's a fucking cult.

  • The USA needs so much more of this.
