it is unfair you have to live homeless. I have to say though, I find your ways of coping to be admirable. Many homeless people turn to drugs and dont try to get a job, or become healthy as you did with AA. I reeally commend you for that. I wish I could help you though. Last time I was in NYC I bought a man on the streets an ice cream cone becuase he was sitting by the shop mumblnig "ice cream"...then i gave it to him and he got angry at me becuase he didnt like vanilla ice cream. I thought anyone would take vanilla, sure its plain but its ice cream...and free for him. well, i just rather give people food then money becuase I while I know people need money, I also know people use money for drugs a lot. I dont know, maybe thats not good reasoning. I have a lot to learn.

I'm sorry to hear your homeless, but keep up your path to sobriety. Plus hey, we live in NYC, the city of opportunity. You'll do good, i just know it.
But umm my year isn't the best.. i realized I'm getting old and have responsibilities now lol. But yea...have some financial strains but i know ill work through it. Thanks for asking~

wonder, are you writing book? you know what guy?
don't think any body really cares if you live in home or box.
I was homeless when I lived in stl. not problem.
I got thru it... hang in there, maybe have good luck, live in house someday. have lots and lots of bills. as far as other PROBLEM you shared, get over that one. lots of bored folks turn to drugs and alchohol, your not bored, you have job and life. why do you think you deserve all attention here?
