    Sep 5 2024

    I may not have had AIDS, but I looked and felt like I had something bad. I had no energy, and could barely get myself together each morning to get my dose of methadone and sit through an hour of therapy. I’d crash as soon as I got home and sleep most of the day. I slowly started to feel stronger, and started going to movies during the day.

    I completed my two weeks in the Breakthrough Program, which was an accomplishment in itself; I hadn’t actually finished anything in years. I spent some more time with Roger, and became more comfortable around him.
