Content warning: suicide
"I worked as a CNC machinist for most of my life. Along the way I struggled with depression and addiction. It started mostly with alcohol, but once I was on the street, meth became like a cup of coffee in the morning to me. I’ve been off it for a few years now, but at that time I just didn’t care. I needed something to make me feel better. It was self-medicating.
I got housing through the SAFER program, which provided me a hotel room until I got in a better position.
I ended up homeless when my family situation broke down. My mom died by suicide and all of us in the house started going through addiction problems. My sister ended up committed to the mental health facility in Pueblo."
