Off-topic: Finally, an honest story of recovery

Don't miss "Cracked" in tomorrow's Washington Post Magazine by my friend Ruben.  Unlike A Million Little Pieces by James Frey, Ruben's story about covering DC's crime scene as a crack addict himself is the truth. And unlike another recent story of recovery in the Post - by a self-pitying ex-university professor - his is honest.  It would also make a helluva good book.

I got my magazine today and happened upon that story. It was fascinating.

That's an incredibly powerful story. Thanks for pointing to it.

Thanks for the link, Susan. Ruben was coming on board at the Post just as I was ending my career there. His story certainly is compelling. I'm glad he had a better experience with Milt Coleman that I did, or maybe he's left out some of the details.

Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
