Scary but glad to see you can respond with a positive clarity. I escaped going to jail by the skin of my teeth a couple times, this is a reminder what I face if I start boozing ever again. I will think of and pray for you.. Youll be back sooner than you know with freedom and experience.

I hope they have the Big Book in jail but it not I have a lot of work to do on that 4th step yet anyway. That moral inventory can get tricky.

I will submit my jail review when I get out. Thanks again.

See no tatt's but tricked out Pocket Protectors...... I hear "the Main Man" wears a Tie with his tidy whitey T-Shirt---be on the lookout , won't hurt to make friends with him, eh?

You have a peace about you FamilyMan....and a great sense of humor... that will see you thru.

Sincerely,

Be careful and keep your head up. And stay sober in jail... there's more substances in there than you would think...

Very cute Trix!! Just finishing off work and than time for the jump suit. Just finished all my paperwork as well. Now I know why a light bulb is $200. Holy moly.

Remember this, there are many rewards to sobriety. Not every day will be sunshine and rainbows and going to jail will not be fun but dealing with it in sobriety is much easier.

Talk to ya soon.....

Late to this thread, obviously, but when you get back you'll know we all had your back.

May it pass quickly for you. Sounds like you have your head screwed on straight.

Sending you the best energy I can... and your post reminded me tonight that is part of why I stay sober. The other part is so I don't give in to sales managers!

Good luck... sending you all the best life has to offer

Also late to the thread, but please know we're all thinking of you and sending you strength to get through this as painlessly as possible. You do have a really good attitude, which should get you out of there faster. Hang in there-this too shall pass!
