A possible turning point

Right now I'm spending the afternoon smoking meth, as usual. Ironically, it's the only thing keeping me calm! I'm being sentenced tomorrow morning in court, and the whole thing has been stressing me out big time. But I've been thinking... maybe this will be a turning point for me. The sentence, whatever it is, could be a reason for me to try to quit meth again. I've tried and failed many times before, but this time it's different. And if I get supervision (probation) with random piss tests, that'll be an extra incentive to quit, because if I piss dirty I really could be looking at time.

 

Good luck with everything, I am sure it will work out.

 

I hope you manage to avoid going to jail, because it is no place for a drug addict who isn't committing violent crimes.

Best of luck P! Let us know how it goes.

 

Thanks! Got a dickhead judge who called me a "raging drug addict" and gave me 9 months probation and 9 months disqualified from driving. I guess that beats prison though.

 

^That is an awfully harsh thing for a judge to say.

I'm glad you're not in prison, P. It sounds like this is a pretty good resolution. Please continue to take care of your health and happiness, and enjoy your freedom - so relieved that you still have it.

 

It's harsh, sure, but not untrue.

I'm glad that you've been able to escape prison P, and really do hope that this will be the push you need to really give sobriety a proper go. It will be hard, especially since you've built most (if not all) of your life around meth, but you're stronger than you give yourself credit for, and I for one think that you can do it.

 

It sure does beat prison! At least you're still living in the free world. It could always be worse.

I am really sorry the judge was a dick to you though (and what he said is untrue, a raging drug addict is someone who abuses those closest to them, which is more common with alcoholism and crack/coke addiction from what I know - wheree I come from a lot of people get drunk and beat on their family members/children, you don't seem like that kind of person at all to me P! Everyone has drama in their life but you do not come across as a violent person at all!), most judges know nothing of justice. Every judge I've encountered sucks balls.

Take it easy P!
