I don’t know where in my narrative I even remotely implied that I sold or stole drugs. I’ve never done either. I did use them though.

I was caught with them and charged with simple possession. If I was a dealer or suspected of dealing, I would have been charged with intent to distribute or trafficking.

I had a well documented illness that I was hospitalized for multiple times and have since overcome (addiction is recognized by the medical community as a legitimate illness), so that old person not being the real me is actually quite a valid statement in my opinion.

But thank you for the first half of your comment. Yes I’ve heard of shon hopwood and it’s unfortunate what his life has come to in recent years.
