32. Training Bro
As I looked around the room, I saw a lot of familiar faces --
corrections and probation officers from a nearby county, addiction counselors,
case managers, school social workers, and nurses – people who’d been attending
my trainings for years.
We took a break halfway through the training and exchanged
how-my-urine-got-dirty stories. I heard
some old favorites: ‘There must have
been weed in the church bake sale brownies,’ ‘I was reaching for an Advil and grabbed a
Xanax by mistake,’ ‘I hid a baggie of my kid’s urine in my underwear, not to
beat your test, but to see if he was getting high,’ and my new favorite, ‘My roommate
made coffee out of bong water without telling me.’
I didn’t see them enough to call them close friends, but they
were my favorite acquaintances.
Today I
will be grateful for my favorite acquaintances.
