Dealing with the challenges in prison can be gruesome. It’s important for me to stay focused on the goals that I set for myself. One of those goals is my recovery from drugs and alcohol. Leading a clean sober life is crucial to my transformation. I’m not able to change the ones around me but I can avoid dangerous situations that may cause a relapse. Everyday, I take time to pray asking for strength to continue forward without any triggers or temptations. I must keep a solid mindset to continue on my path towards success.
