Nelson: Hunts Point, Bronx by Chris Arnade on Flickr.Via Flickr:
Nelson was hanging out with Manny and others from the homeless shelter when I met him.  
Nelson, who grew up in the Bronx, has been battling alcoholism since a teenager. He took a big swig from the brown paper bag and said “See, I can’t stop!” then proceeded to tell me how he lost his job, his home, his family. Unrepentant, he claimed to have found peace with the bottle.
