I have been overwhelmed with the positive response from my friends, clients and the community to my service project, 52 Addicts! I have received emails, texts, Facebook messages and comments in person while at events about how much people are enjoying these portraits of real people who have been brave enough to tell their stories of their battle against addiction. If you haven’t heard about this project, check out the intro post here. I know some people are still not on the Instagram bandwagon (and who can blame them, since there seems to be a new social media platform to jump on every week!), so I wanted to do a quick recap here of the stories I have featured so far for those of you not on my Instagram feed.
If you are a recovering addict and would like to share your story, send me a private message here.

This is a remarkable series. Thank you for sharing hope.
I read about this series in the New Yorker I would like to feature your series on my photography based website, photoweenie.com. I am the founder and editor of photoweenie.com. Photoweenie.com had over 1,000,000+ hits in 2016.
I will only post the work if you respond to my request.
Do you have a background doc on the series? If so, please reply with the text as a Word doc. I would also be posting six photos from the series. I can take them from your website, or you can email them to me.
Thanks,
Jim Fitts
