San Francisco was once a beacon of recovery. It has now become a beacon of drugs, homelessness and overdose. We can change that. Stand up for more recovery and drug treatment! Make San Francisco a city of hope again!

4 years ago tonight, I ditched my family, went to the Tenderloin and scored Heroin. Later, I passed out in the car and missed everything. Today, I'm present, accounted for and home with my family. Never give up. We do recover.

The power shift is happening. San Franciscans showed up in force to reclaim the city from radicals who drove it into a ditch. We're going to save San Francisco and help get the homeless off the street and into recovery.
Power to the people.
5 years ago, I spent Thanksgiving in drug rehab. I hadn't seen my kids in almost a year. I had lost everything meaningful to me. Today, I'm hosting 15 friends and family for Thanksgiving. Recovery is possible.

In 2017, on Christmas eve, I left my family to score heroin and ended up passed out in a Jack in the Box parking lot. I missed Christmas. In recovery, this year, I'm hosting my whole family for Christmas. We do recover.

The city used to clear this encampment periodically and offer shelter to those living here. Now, because of a court injunction, they can't unless the city can offer a shelter bed for all 8,000 homeless in San Francisco, all at once.

Defund the police they say. Decriminalize, they say. Get used to it, folks. We were duped by a fever dream of a Socialist utopia. Now we gotta own it.

Thank you,
@RobertKennedyJr
, for walking the Tenderloin with me today in San Francisco. We saw the homeless and drug crisis up close and talked solutions rooted in recovery from addiction. I'm hopeful other presidential candidates will come to SF to learn the truth from me.
Stealing a $4k catalytic converter is a serious crime. It hampers your ability to go to work, creates a huge financial barrier, and makes your insurance go up. This is how the far left thinks. If it ain't murder, it ain't a crime.
4 years ago today I spent my last day homeless on the streets of San Francisco. Tomorrow, I'll have 4 years clean & sober. Recovery from addiction saved my life. I have my family back. I'm happy. I'm free.

So, it turns out the guy who killed 3 homeless on Skid Row was just a stone cold criminal and murderer who just got $700k in a settlement from the city of LA. He then bought a BMW and went on a killing and robbing spree.
3 years ago I spent Thanksgiving in rehab. Today, I made this turkey with my wife and kids for Thanksgiving.

I saved my money over the past 6 months and bought a car. It's used, but it's all mine. First car I was able to buy since 2009. Faith, The 12 steps and sobriety literally brought me back to life.

Today is my birthday. In 2018, I celebrated it while homeless on the streets of San Francisco with an extra dose of heroin. Today, I woke up at home, with my family, sober. I'll always be grateful for the second chance I've been given.

Connie Chan refuses to answer the question about her calling for the dismantling of the police in 2020 and instead talks about the street crisis response team. Say what? Progressives have failed badly on public safety.
If this holds, San Francisco has fully embraced recovery and sent a message to the radicals that drove this city into a ditch. You're done. Tomorrow is a new day for the city.
3 years ago on Christmas I was strung out on Heroin and passed out in a Jack in the Box parking lot. Today, I'm reconciled with my family. And this is what my son woke up to this morning. God is merciful.
We do recover.

No smoking in front of the library! Unless you're homeless and smoking Fentanyl or Meth. Then you're OK because we hold you to a different standard of the law. "Equity."

Democratic Socialist Supervisor thinks property crime isn't a serious crime. So, when you get your catalytic converter stolen it's all good because no one was physically hurt. Damn.

The mayor of San Francisco which is the birthplace of "harm reduction," said:
"Harm reduction from my perspective is not reducing the harm."

Today I have 1 year clean and sober. I went from the guy on the left, homeless Heroin addict in the TL to the guy on the right. Working full time and back in my family's lives. Thank you SFPD, Salvation Army and most of all God for this second chance.
I've been sober for 5+ years. In that time, my body had to recover from the damages of IV drug use. Those damages included Sepsis, hair loss, blown out veins, extreme weight loss, and 8 cavities. Not to mention the mental trauma. Recovery restored it all. I'm healthy.
"Crime is down."
"It's just bread,"
"Covid's fault."
"Systemic racism."
"Wage inequality."
"Lack of housing."
These are all terms used by the far left to reduce penalties for retail theft in California. You now see the results. Repeal Prop 47.

"San Francisco would require low-income residents to undergo substance abuse screening and treatment as a requirement to be eligible to receive welfare funds under a proposal Mayor London Breed planned to introduce Tuesday."
I talked to a homeless man living in a tent on Eddy St. He moved to San Francisco from Detroit 7 months ago. He was already homeless in Detroit. He came to SF because:
"The weather is good, the drugs are cheap, the city gives you aid, and the police don't bother you."
There's a Thai restaurant across the street from this encampment. I talked to the owner. He's thinking about closing because his business has been deeply impacted. He said people won't go there for dinner anymore. You can see why.

I just found out that homeless placed in hotels in SF are being delivered Alcohol, Weed and Methadone because they identified as an addict/alcoholic for FREE. You're supposed to be offering treatment. This is enabling and is wrong on many levels.

The heckling and pig noises coming from the pro Palestine crowd as this man describes what happened to his family on Oct. 7 in Israel is an embarrassment for San Francisco.
WATCH: A San Francisco Jewish man bravely shares his experiences with antisemitism after losing five family members at Kibbutz Be'eri, including two kidnapped by Hamas, only to be met with boos and jeers from anti-Israel activists.

My mom was in Manlia during the Japanese occupation. The atrocities she witnessed by the Japanese Imperial Army against Filipinos still haunt her to this day. (She's 87). The U.S. had to stop the madness. The Japanese wouldn't surrender.
"As your next district attorney, I will restore accountability and consequences to our criminal justice system here in San Francisco," said Brooke Jenkins after Mayor London Breed formally announced her as the new DA.
This is a quote from the executive director of San Francisco’s largest addiction treatment provider-
"There are 17 million people struggling with addiction in the U.S. none of them want to get clean. So we should just support them."
If this is our approach, we are lost.
I cannot express the disappointment I have right now for

today that would have brought a small amount of accountability to fentanyl dealers especially when you consider what's happening in

The suspect, who is homeless, isn't from here. He's from New Orleans. Like it or not, California is a magnet for homelessness. Almost half the entire country's homeless population resides in California.

San Francisco spent $1 billion on "homelessness" the past 3 years, and the problem is worse. California spent $20 billion on "homelessness" the last 5 years, and the problem is worse. Stop listening to the wrong people, and maybe the "worse" will stop?

California leaders and voters opened the genie bottle with Prop 47 in 2015. Let the genie out of the bottle in 2020 with the riots and looting. Now you can't put it back. Decriminalization has failed.
I got off the streets over 4 years ago. While the memory fades, I'll never forget that I was rescued by a cop. Not outreach workers, a cop. That's the plain truth.

San Francisco: population 800,000 had 25,000 car break-ins last year. Austin TX: population 800,000 had 3,000 car break-ins last year. Yeah, we've got problems.
In 2023, I will be calling out every political leader in

They've been "herded" back into the Tenderloin. I was out there today. Hundreds on the streets and garbage on every corner. They cleaned up the dealers, but the homeless remain. Very sad.
This isn't some isolated neighborhood in San Francisco. This is the heart of the city next to the main library across the street from city hall. The city can't recover fully unless we address this. And it requires intervention.
This is
@JacquiBerlinn
. Her son is homeless and addicted to Fentanyl on the streets of the Tenderloin. She's tried so many times to get him help. She thinks the city's policies are enabling her son. I agree.

I'm alive today because I was arrested, placed in a controlled environment for 3 months (jail) where I was given Bupe. Got sober and was then given a choice. Stay in jail or go to treatment. I chose treatment. I'm here today in recovery because of it.
