"My addiction really started to take over when I would start causing problems at home.

So because I was a mess at home, I became homeless and would go from couch to car, to the side of a building. You know, I would just go around and stay where I needed to stay.

Growing up and being around addiction was tough so it did not really bother me too much to be homeless as long as I had drugs: being homeless was never a problem..." ➡️ read the rest of David's story...
