Last weekend, I spent Saturday afternoon in Center City with a friend I hadn't seen in years, went for two long runs in Haddon Heights Park, and savored a Thai meal in Voorhees on Sunday with another good friend.

I also attended three 12-step meetings, without which none of those other activities would have been possible — because I'd have died long ago.

I'd be a casualty like the seven individuals who fatally overdosed last weekend in Philly's Kensington neighborhood, where dozens of intravenous drug users were sickened by the latest dangerously adulterated opioid concoction sold to the desperate on the street.
