I will second Nancy E on this one: Mental illness, drugs, including alcohol, cause lives to go awry. It is simply the truth, so why the down'voting?

Sarah, you have skills . Fight harder. There is help available.

I have gone through all of the comments on these pictures and there have been a lot from a lady named nancy and a man named robert and another account named black dahlia. I get that you like to joke about other peoples weaknesses but what you do not realize is that they have a legitimate problem. an addiction that controls their live. accept it or not but they depend on their drug or the occupation as much as any one else depends on our lungs to breath or water to cleans us. addiction is nothing in the matter to be laughed at or jokes upon, what they need is support and hope to help them deal with the terrible decision they have made in their past. also before you sit there and call someone "disgusting" because of a decision they made in their past, step back and think of the worst thing you have ever done in your life, sure it may not be heroin or prostitution, but it can still be judged and mocked just as much as these people in these pictures.

The you deserve credit part says enough

Thought I might see my niece in one of these photos.... thank you for documenting this world. Difficult to see, terribly tough to experience and survive in. My heart goes out to all.

This is the saddest one yet

I wish there was more info on Bob. He's dressed so nicely, you'd never think he was a drug user. What is the story here?!!

She could be your daughter, friend, or , neighbor.

I see myself in her. I was a heroin addict (and anything else I could get) for 20-25 years. I have been clean for 21 years and have a better life than ever. But during my using days I lost my husband (best man on the planet) cuz yeah heroin was my only love, my son, family, everything. I've been working at Denny's for 15 years and proud of it. I am totally self sufficient today. It is so hard. Go to meetings, Narcotics Anon., Alcoholics Anon. get a sponsor, work your program and it will work. When you want it more than anything, it will work. Good luck.

why everyone hating on nacy? shes not even being rude or anything? Haters gunna hate nacy your free to comment what ever you want, these pictures where takin to start awareness & concern.

No this is addiction. It is what addiction does to you.

Susan and Bob would make a great couple. :-)

Awww. This one is sweet. Oh wait. Dahlia is here..... Why haven't they been banned yet???

Lovely

Jeez... So many trolls in all these comment sections. All I can say is that i hope matt is doing a bit better now.

I love the way she looks hopeful, it's inspiring to think that even in these situations people can still maintain hope

Such a powerful photo. He looks so vulnerable :(

I feel like sometimes the physical wounds are a small percentage of our inner suffering. My heart goes out to this person.

What a powerful image... I hope jamie turns out ok.

Why should he be in jail for life?

She's beautiful

Stay with the program. You will then have a future worth living.

She's so pretty ;o;

Jeez... I’m curious about the person in the back there. I hope all three will be ok. (If the third has a problem at all)

God, she is just a child. I can only imagine what got her to this point.

Weird that the shadows in her hair nearly mirror her face...

ok, I seriously don't understand what's so horribly wrong with Nancy's comments? I mean, it DOES look like this woman is pregnant again. It's not an insult, it's not making fun, it's just an observation.

I've scrapped for money. It's s****y and dangerous

Sadness lies behind those eyes.

Holy c**p dahlia. you have a serious problem.

I'm sorry that you ate hurting Jannette. You are in my prayers.

I can’t imagine what it’s like for people without anywhere to go in the winter. It got to negative fourteen degrees here the other day and i saw a woman on the side of the road in a T-SHIRT. I gave her my coat of course, but even so she could still get frostbite, or worse. It just breaks my heart.

But it's a sad, demeaning and hard lifestyle that haunts someone forever if (I'm most cases) they are forced into it

Nancy E, I really cant stand your silly comments

I wonder what the stories behind his tattoos are...

hopefully he will.

I bet he has some stories to tell.

There’s a story here

All you people making such rude remarks should go find somewhere else to take your negativity. These people are already living less than ideal lives.

Nancy E has chosen to refrain from commenting about this other Nancy

review of Black Dahlia: S****y attitude, ugly profile pic, haughty, judgmental, and obnoxious.

Black Dahlia please do us all a favor and shut up with all of your negative, judgmental comments.

I only wish that these people will someday have a place to call home...

I don't know if you will see this. I wish I knew your name. You matter. You matter. "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." - from the Bible. 1 Corinthians 13:13
