Dear Anonymous,
Coming back from relapse. Painful. Suddenly into the daylight of some sort of sobriety. Hard to keep the shame-guilt-remorse beast at bay. He identifies what can get him 'high' is helping his street community by distributing resources like socks or clothing and other things. It may not be much. But it is something. It is currency of connection. All of you Dear Anonymous's have given these resources.Your gifts are doubled, tripled by Mike and others being able to offer something to their community. Purpose. Meaning. Connection. And is it all Hallmark moments of Santa like giving? Hell no. It's desperate out here.
