I used to make excuses everyday of my life I always thought from my addiction, mental problems, and getting in trouble that it was everybody else’s fault and that if it wasn’t the way I was brought up I wouldn’t be here today yes I do agree most of what I went through didn’t help but I had choices and free will if I worked hard enough getting my drugs I should have worked hard to stay sober or I wouldn’t be here I knew 1 day it would come to this I just didn’t believe it could happen to me now I’m on my path of doing 20 yrs I came in at 40 and will leave almost 60 people like you Mr. Santos encourages me to be better and no matter where I am behind these walls physically or mentally I need to live so I can go home and show my family how much I’ve changed for the better
