juice, still a favorite of mine. Got a hug from the FedEx lady yesterday, and am still high. I need and wanted a hug, felt great. It's the little things

As a therapist at a substance use rehab, we have a strict no touching (including hugging) policy. But sometimes, I sense that’s what the person needs and I offer it anyway. It’s not often, but when it’s needed, it’s needed.

As a receiver of a hug like this in a rehab facility during the darkest time of my life…thank you. It’s people like you that made me want to live again

Thanks for sharing this. I’m glad that you want to live again, you deserve that!
