I was a heroin addict in Kensington
His family owns a 500-acre farm in Pennsylvania. Addiction took him to the open-air drug markets of North Philadelphia instead.
Westley Morris was supposed to be a farm boy. His family still owns a five-hundred-acre working farm in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.
Instead addiction took him to Kensington and North Philadelphia, where he watched people overdose and die on the sidewalk and could not understand how it was happening in this country.
His last day using was the twenty-second of December, 2012. What got him out was not willpower. It was his sister, thirty days clean herself, asking one question: are you ready. She drove him to a meeting where thirty strangers stood up one by one and hugged him.
