Thank you for taking the time to lay out some of these issue in a clear way. It's an issue I'm somewhat new to but have taken in interest in. Where does your branch of the club meet? What are we doing?

Thank you for answering in good faith.

This is kinda intractable. It's tough for someone without housing to be a productive member of society. It's tough for an addict to get or maintain housing. It's tough to get sober. It's tough^2 to get sober on the streets.

If our goal is to encourage sobriety, I don't think the solution is locking people up. "Physical" withdrawals are short and relatively easy to deal with, it's the other baggage that needs to be dealt with.

For similar reasons, general future proofing, I recently started using orgmode for my todo lists, journaling and a light project management workflow. I'm a vim person, and using spacemacs with evil mode has been good for learning. I imagine I'll eventually start from scratch and only keep the pieces I like, but it's been a reasonable starting point.

This looks great for those purposes, it should interact nicely. There's a decent chance I'll pick up the watch today. (Can I make it buzz for pomodoro? Hmm.)
