From the second link: "I got sober and found humility. I found that I could actually have a life. I make $1000 a month now where I used to make $1000 a week. But I know as long as I show up, everything is going to be okay. I don’t have to worry about paying my bills. There’s no self-loathing and no fear."
I wish, really wish, that more SPs would come to their senses like this one. This woman is truly gutsy, heroic. It's tough to be a woman and decide to be poor, that's for sure. It's tough to get off drugs and stay off. She deserves a standing ovation.
