Life with drug use is not clean, and we of all people know this. Some of us were physically in a state of neglect and were indifferent to ourselves and our surroundings. As bad as we looked on the outside, much worse most of us felt on the inside. The things we did to get drugs and the way we treated other people and ourselves all made us feel like we were completely dirty.
