when I was on the streets I could not believe just how much money professional panhandlers made.

I'm talking like a couple of hundred a day, depending on the time of month and the location.

I myself could never participate in panhandling, even as a junkie I had self respect lol

I was always worried about someone I knew noticing, but some people have zero problems begging for money, the beggars would brag about how soft people were, especially older women, zero respect

I've been clean for over 10 yrs and my sober life is great, all of these panhandlers are addicts, they are all redeemable
