The one thing that sucks about being in prison is that drugs are everywhere. They seem to be more available in here than they are on the streets or the outside. And the thing that sucks about it is that nobody seems to be concerned about hiding their use of drugs except from the Officers in here. You can try to not ever see somebody do drugs in here and you will fail it’s everywhere. So how do I deal with the temptations and triggers while I’m here. I changed the way I think. I use the tools that I learned from the ZEPF center (Drug Rehab). I lean on God. There is no programs available for me at the moment. There is no AA/NA meetings in here. It’s hard. Very hard. I mean I can’t just get up and leave I am stuck here. I cant tell the people who are doing the drugs to do them somewhere else they can’t go nowhere else. So I can’t do everything that I learned in drug rehab. I can’t leave. I can’t attend a meeting. I can’t call my counselor. I use bible study as a substitute for an AA meeting. It works. I try and hang out with others who have beat their drug addiction. And I do a lot of reading of stories that have to do with things of this Nature. And most importantly I just try and get through the day. It’s one day at a time.
