Atlanta Escorts: Pieces of Crystal: Homeless and HIV-positive in Atlanta
Posted on November 30th, 2011 in Atlanta escorts
At a recent meeting, Stapleton — dressed in a pressed white shirt and jeans, and now living in Stone Mountain — celebrated one year of being clean. Crystal and dozens of others in recovery applauded as he stood up to accept a white poker chip symbolizing his sobriety.
Stapleton pocketed his chip, but usually someone with a record of being clean for a year or more will pass the token on to someone who’s just starting out.
“I would say that he should have given it to Crystal,” says Gail Herrschaft, a recovering drug addict who’s been clean for 15 years. She is the director of Double Trouble In Recovery, and led the meeting that day.
Herrschaft and Crystal share a keen understanding of drug addiction.
“You’ll prostitute. You’ll do anything. Rob, steal, anything,” Herrschaft says.
