Over at Bored Panda, there's a post sharing some pictures and stories from a site called The Addict's Diary. The site's creator, Kevin Alter, is himself in recovery from substance abuse and wanted to show some real pictures of people taken while they were using and then later on, after they had begun a journey in sobriety. Diary also lets the people share their stories, not shrinking from exploring what they lost and what they are grateful for having won back.
It's not as much fun as mocking an addict so disoriented she begs for a chance to relieve herself before being arrested, but not everything in life is fun (For the curious, that's a dig at an Oklahoma City-based website that calls itself satirical but is a lot better at mockery and meanness, as evidenced by its post on this incident. And no, there's no link. They get way more traffic than I do and don't need help I'd rather not give anyway).
