how's it going? I've been reading this thread for a couple years. The last time I did dope was October 2013, in cook county jail, having smuggled it in in the classic fashion. I did the gateway thing there, more rehab on the outside, halfway house, probation, etc. Anyway, here I am 2 years later, and a lot of things are better than they were back then, at the same time, a lot of things are just as bad, my wife has not forgiven me, she constantly kicks me out of her apartment. I'm working, but for a lot less money than I used to make. I don't make enough to afford a car, so I ride a bike everywhere, which I like, but it kind of hurts my pride. I destroyed my credit, so I have a hard time finding a real place, currently residing at an extended stay motel. I completely fucked my arms up from shooting, I have huge scars on both, i'll be in long sleeves for the rest of my life. I'm starting to feel like, is this worth it, staying away from dope, i still smoke weed, drink a little, eat kratom, but i'm longing for that relief that I find in dope. Anyway, anybody out there feel the same? Thanks for reading, I needed to get this out there.
