As you can imagine folks who don't fit in boxes may share various of these demographics simultaneously. We're humans - not categories.
I believe that we can best help these and all folks who join our Community by stepping back and empathizing before we respond with our theories of how to beat addiction. Just one example, it's a bit ludicrous to suggest joining a gym if the recipient lives below the poverty line.
Please watch this video and then really stop before you push the publish or submit comment button. We can never have enough empathy,
