Not only that - I would even go so far as saying that these are examples where OP’s statement is even MORE fitting than someone who “does not do it” anyway. A junkie warning younger generations about the dangers of drug abuse - someone who experienced all the effects firsthand and is struggling to quit - is a lot more convincing than someone who knows the word “drug” only from a dictionary.
Any time you struggle with a bad habit, addiction, or compulsion you don’t have under control.

This is honestly really fitting since I used to be homeless and addicted. Used to be. :)
Glad it’s “used to.” Keep safe!
I’m happy to see that “used to be” in your sentence ;) either one is already hard to overcome on its own, but both at the same time …much respect.
