If you have a couple of minutes, check out Chris Budnick’s interview with Kevin McCauley.
The whole conversation is great, but 24:15 to 25:50 really leapt out at me.
Kevin shares his mom’s reaction to learning of his addiction and harm reduction as a “deeply humane response” to what is often perceived as a “set of unsolvable conditions.”
Kevin, we’re also glad you didn’t end up in Holland shooting drugs for the rest of your life.
