Soap is highly overrated loomer, so if you drop it just leave it on the floor and rinse, OK? I mean that!
You know we're all thinking of you, right?

I wish I could be more talkative towards those people in there but I can't. for some reason I put myself above them. Just because I don't steal from people and I'm not a violent person. I wish I didn't feel this way but it's like whenever people talk to me there it's like I just want to say to them who gave you permission to talk to me. I feel really bad about it. I'm no better than those people.
Yes Pammy I'm a pacer

I'm working on the Humility thing. I know I have a lot to learn and feel bad for feeling the way I do. I do just keep to myself. It's beeter that way. I am a hard working man and don't much care to be in the same vicinity as people who rape and kill. I sure don't want to be in the same room with them.

Hey Rob!
I'm back in GA as of 2:30 this a.m. and will go back to work tonight. Sorry I didn't get to see ya but talking to you and Pamm helped me out a lot. Seeing family was great - an entire week of people who loved (and spoiled) me and not an addict or alkie in the bunch....well, except ME!
I know the jail thing is a bummer...at least you only have to do 2 months and it's great you get to go to work. I never stole anything or killed anyone when I was active, but I did enough bad stuff, I figured I was just as bad. And another thing....back in my drinking days I did drive drunk and I'm pretty damn lucky I DIDN'T kill anyone...kind of put my thinking in perspective...I COULD have been a murderer!
Hang in there. I did county jail for a month, then the diversion center (kind of like your work release) for 4-1/2 months and I went through depression, anger, and a major amount of frustration. Today, when I'm feeling down I start a gratitude list and the first things are "a soft pillow and bed" 'cause in jail, nothing's soft!!! To this day, don't think I will EVER want to be in another bunk bed...even if it's not bolted to the floor!
Sending extra hugs and prayers your way!
Amy

The beds sure aren't soft there that's for sure. I'm doing a lot of reading. I've almost got my first book read then I'm going to read a Charles Dickens I saw they have. I grabbed it so I can start as soon as I'm done with the other one.
55 more days. Then I'm home free. Oh I have 30 days sober by the way. I didn't realize that till I got to work today

Way to go on your 30 days!!!!
I'm so proud of you! I read a lot when I was locked up, too. I was actually made the "librarian" at county jail. We weren't allowed many books at the diversion center, but the ones we had (most were smuggled in), we all read. Let me know if I need to send you any books - I have a ton of them here.
Hugs and prayers!

I really believe God doesn't give us more than we can handle Rob.
and there's a lesson or two to be learnt here, lessons far more important than 'don't go to sleep drunk in your car' you know ?
good luck
