It is hard to believe how fast time passes by. I have been out of prison since 5/11/2011! After spending seven long years behind those bars, cement walls, and razor wire electric fences, I have learned to not take things for granted. I never want to forget to be grateful for all I have. I am not talking about material things. I am talking about the things you can not buy. Some of the women I did time with, such as some of the Manson girls, Betty Broderick, and many others, will never see the outside of those prison walls again. Many will die alone, and will have wasted their lives because of the crimes they have committed. Substance abuse, and addiction caused many of these women's destinations to be doomed.
Once a person becomes addicted to drugs, and or alcohol, a part of their soul becomes captive to a wide variety of evils. If you find that you are constantly battling with these demons, seek help before it is too late.
When an addict seeks and accepts recovery early in their addiction, a stronger foundation is built within that person. If an addict continues to use at an early age, it becomes much harder to recover.
Time goes by quickly, and the addict will get caught in a trap that may take years to get out of, if then. You may be young now, but an addict ages quickly. You look back, and ask yourself, "Where did the time go?"
No one grows up dreaming to be an addict, but it happens. Some people have that gene that predisposes them to a greater chance of becoming an addict. If you have this gene, And you are not aware of it, there are signs. Things like not being able to have just a drink or two, are a sign. Taking everything to the extreme and until the last drop, pill, line, fix, or hit is gone.
That's just the way it is. We have to say no to it all, and walk away from the people who can not say no. It is too hard to be around that temptation, and the consequences are inevitable.
You will either die, or end up in prison. Sometimes both.
So, I wish you all a Happy New Year, filled with love, strength, and hope for a healthy, brighter future!
