Almost all will say 6 holes. Only the vigilantes will find the right answer. How many holes do you see?

Three people. Three very different paths. One shared belief: recovery should always be an option. Thank you, @Ambassador4Rec and @Twolfrecovery, for your leadership, your encouragement, and for making sure lived experience had a voice throughout this process. I’m honored to have stood alongside you as San Francisco took an important step toward expanding voluntary recovery-oriented housing options.

“BADD Brothers Against Drug Deaths is proud to be a contributing partner of the 6th Annual Recovery Day at Boeddeker Park founded and coordinated by our Co-Founder Richard Beal “ The Ambassador for Recovery “! September 4th, 2026 12pm-3pm

@Twolfrecovery You are a miracle my friend! We Do Recover!

I used to sleep in this doorway when I was homeless and addicted to drugs back in 2018. Not anymore. This is what happens when you put the dope down and work on yourself. We do recover.

@DanielLurie Happy Father’s Day! God bless you and your family!

Throughout my life I’ve watched my dad dedicate his life to helping others. As a rabbi who helped people escape persecution around the world, he taught me how you show up for people, day after day. Those lessons have shaped how I lead and how I raise my children.  Today, being a father is the best and most important job I have, and I’m grateful for my dad, my brother who is a father of two, and for all the fathers and father figures who are supporting and raising the next generation. Happy Father’s Day, San Francisco.

@Twolfrecovery Happy Father’s Day my friend!

Happy Father's Day! I missed a few because of my addiction. But I got sober, make living amends, and I'm there when they need me. Recovery allowed me to be the Dad they needed. My kids are thriving. Today, I celebrate them! #FathersDay

When I was on the street in 2018 you had to buy your meth pipe at the smoke shop for $3. Now, you, the taxpayer foot the bill.

Second Annual Overdose Prevention Summit; great minds came together and unveiled “True” pathways to RECOVERY #RecoverIsPossible #StopOverdoses #votefortreatment #SFDPH

Hand out free drug paraphernalia, people die. Here's evidence. 👇

Over 100 recovery books were given out at the Overdose Prevention Summit at SF Main Library! Most were NA Basic Text and AA Big Book!

The 2nd Annual Overdose Prevention Summit at the SF Main Library was a great success! Thank you to all the officials, service providers, and community leaders that participated!

I use Sunflower Sober every day to not only track my sobriety, but to support me on those hard days. Whether your 1 month or 10 years, recovery from addictions is a lifelong commitment. This helps.

@beyondchron @mattdorsey @sfstandard @MLNow Great article Randy! Right on point.

There's a reason SF crime stats don't cover sidewalk drug users---it would highlight that the numbers aren't falling. beyondchron.org/harm-reduction… @mattdorsey @sfstandard @MLNow
