Drinking isnt my problem. Loneliness is. - This was said to my friends and I tonight as we talked to an intoxicated homeless man walking along Newark Ave in Jersey City. He made me think of all those who suffer from substance abuse and how I am learning more about the battles many of them fight, way before theyve even touched a drug. I also thought of everyone, including myself, who struggle to understand addiction....yet the one thing we all know is the feeling of loneliness. May we, even in our confusion, strive to find compassion in each others humanness.
