I don’t have to commute to Methtown anymore. I don’t live there and I never have to see the people I worked with again. I do know, after talking to a former coworker, that everyone in the office is livid with management for canning me. (Call me petty, but that is definitely a plus.) I can look for a job that might actually cover my therapy bills. And finally, I got to see a tornado. At a mental hospital. Less than 100 yards away from me. [...] [...] But there are good things.

And now I’m the boring old counselor telling kids to just say no and abstain from using drugs despite their small town boredom, their parents’ alcoholism and drug addiction, and their own maniacal depression. I feel for them, I do — but I also know how bad it can get, and thank my higher power I never got there. For that I thank the old timers that told me their stories, and in doing so, gave me a life I would have otherwise passed over in favor of oblivion. [...] [...] Right.

Carla is a lifelong resident of Methtown, and grew up on a farm on the outskirts of the area, a farm run by her grandparents that she fondly refers to as “Second Chance Farms” for her grandparents’ willingness to take in all sorts of creatures, people and animals alike, who were on their last legs. As we drank we shared our life stories, and the conversation eventually came around to her parents’ relationship. [...] [...] On Friday I went out for drinks with my coworker Carla.

The war on drugs has pretty much been a colosal failure on every level, hasn't it?

What you write is so true. I HATE Meth for the devastation I have seen caused by it's use. Most people think that out in the country, in the rural areas, you can be "safe". What a Laugh !! There are more desperate junkies in the boonies than there are downtown. You are very strong to be able to do what you do, it can't be easy or even all that rewarding, because the cycle hasn't been broken, the likelihood the kids will grow up to repeat the same mistakes is so high.
