One of my heroin users got clean!!!

Yay!

The guy is seventy years old and has been using for over 40 years! Clean & sober for 1 month!

He's so happy. He said he forgot what it was like to not be high. He's loving his life again...

I could just burst!...

Wow. Bet there aren't very many heroin addicts who make it to 70. Prayers that he stays clean.

He's as tough as an old piece of leather.

Sweet guy, too. Very nice. I just didn't have any hope that after so many years he would actually get clean. Life is good...

I love this job...
