Familyman got work release...
I finally got out to come to work. It feels a lot better behind this desk then in that cell. Most people said the reality is not as bad as the fear before going to jail. That is partly true but I can honestly say that jail is not where you want to be, of course. The worst part is not knowing how to do stuff and no one tells you. I won't go into detail but I am not looking forward to the long weekend. I did find a copy of the big book and am already past page 164. It helps a lot and this will be an experience that I can share. I just feel bad for my kids ages 13, 7 & 4. They just want their daddy home.
I am so glad you got work release!! I hope the weekend, and the remaining days pass quickly!!! Proud of you for your incredible attitude. Your kiddos will have the rest of their lives to spend with their amazing dad.

Of course they do! But they're going to get something even better in the long run—their daddy is going to be happy and healthy. And free, truly free, from the kind of jail cell that's invisible to everyone but ourselves. Soak up their love when they're near, and you can carry it with you when they're not, FM.
I wish I could see them but we told the younger kids I was away for work. My 13 year old knows so it is toughest on her. It does show me how much I value my family and the time with them. The drunk familyman would be looking for a way around the system so I could drink something but this sober familyman just wants to do his time, follow the rules and get home as soon as possible. Thanks for all your support.
I'm so glad you let us know what's going on. I think you're handling this painful time very well. Hoping the time will fly by and you'll soon be back to your real life. (Wiser for the experience.)
Familyman, I am so glad you are spending time with your family in your home. It sounds like your attitude is really great and I hope you stay safe and get through with jail soon.
