Living in a sober living/recovery house, ask me anything

is it an okay house?

Are you really addicted or was it just a way to distance yourself from blame. I can get addicted to anything its not physical but an escape for me , i had an alcoholic friend swore he was physically addicted and he drank everyday , until he found meth and suddenly he was never drinking , no dts nothing .

How often do you get your mud pushed?

It's very strange and a bit culty. The people that run the place, own several ventures in various industry in the area, and use the house as a type of free/cheap labor force...

There's a sort of group of "inner circle," tenants who actively try to keep people from moving on/finding a place of their own...that's the cultish part I was talking about..

One of the people involved in the place is the mayor of a small town nearby, and also run a church...a weird church, pentacostal..... Growing up in a nearby area I used to run around with this mayor/preacher's stepdaughter, and 2 of her cousins..all beautiful girls...one committed suicide later...I don't know the details, drug use involved though..

How long do you you expect to stay there?

Do you think you are reformed...ready to behave yourself?

How much time did you spend in the Pen?

How many stints did you do in The Pen? 1, and 1 in state jail.. state jail was 6 months, pen was 3y4m

Were you in Juve? No, was never in juvie

What made you Break Bad? prescription drug use (legitimately prescribed)

What kind of slave labor do they force you to do? They have a petro polymer pipe production operation, gas stations, and a used appliance sales/distro operation

Is there any future for you? who knows?

How was your childhood? good, i came from a upper/middle class family, grew up in country club, both parents have college degrees, i have college certs (am close to finishing my associates)

Did you fail in school? no, was a B student, but took dual credit courses and went to community college to gain IT certifications right after high school, got into drugs, went back to college, went through a terrible breakup (quit school), got worse into drugs, went back, had health problems (quit school again) got worse into drugs (went to prison) .... went to school 2 more semesters after prison... got in trouble with parole (missed a semester while in jail waiting for parole to make a decision). back out now, and enrolled already in summer semester (18 credits left to graduate)

Were you an outcast of society? in high school/after high school i was popular and had high hopes... at some point i developed a serious fear/anxiety of public/other people... this was the root cause of my drug use... everything spiraled.. prison was something i didn't think i would ever experience.. i wasn't a "bad" person.. the crime that got me all the prison time was a sort of Tiger Woods esque type crime...blacked out on xanax, stumbled across the street into a neighbors garage... got in a vehicle, in the garage.

Which part of the USSA are you living in...North. South, East or West?

I'll guess the South. Am I right? :charlie? yes, the south. where pot is still a crime, and you will go to jail for any amount.

Does that preacher treat you right or does he take advantage of you and treat you badly?

How many people live in that place?

XanaX Is of the devil.

You are right, doctors prescribe it without giving the patient informed consent. Those kinds of doctors should be sent to prison.

How long were you on XanaX? What dosage? What strength?

I have more questions...if you are willing.

i really dont have any contact with him, a lot of the people that live here go to church at his church, and i haven't heard anything too weird about it beside that it's a pentacostal/speaking in tongues type church.. i haven't went and seen it yet personally (ankle monitor keeps me homebound right now, besides the 3 days a week im allowed to go and work at the used appliance sales store)

these ARE some weird people though. Or maybe just different than what i'm used to. I grew up in a community of golfers, where things like education/community standing were what was important and defined a person... these people are redneck types, boots and beat up chevys, where education stopped at the 5th grade. The guys who actually run the place are military veterans though, but still of the redneck variety..

Well, there are a lot of preachers who are of the devil.

Your main concern should be the eternal destination of your soul. If you thought prison was bad...hell will be much, much worse.

How's the food? Does the preacher feed you good food?

sure, ask away...

was on xanax for about 10 years, near the end it was 2mg x3 times daily, but i knew how to manipulate the doctors and pharmacy to pretty much never run out.. (pharmacys will fill sched 3 meds 6 days early, and most doctors will refill 4-6x with one visit after you've been going to them long enough) also, there are benzos available online that are unscheduled and ship right to your address (flualprazolam, clonazalam)

at the worst of my xanax nightmare i was taking 8 or 10mg daily..

Rent is cheap, I can make enough to pay it by picking up other tenants chores...the people that are here are mostly degenerates, I'm here as a way to avoid parole throwing me back in prison... (Very long story, political motives involved)

I'm on a gps monitor, and being here has already saved me once from false alarms (malfunctioning device)

In the process of transferring my parole to another state..

Ask away :)

the food is actually awesome, there's 1 meal cooked daily (stuff like tacos, sometimes breakfast, sometimes fried chicken)

there are lots of restaurants that donate to the place, and there is a "snack room" stocked with frozen stuff, like hot pockets, etc..

the preacher guy doesn't really come around the actual house much, i just connected the dots because i had known his stepdaughter in my younger years, and when i go to work at the appliance store the older veteran guy that is in charge of it takes us to eat in a restaurant the preacher/mayor guy also owns.

Did you have a father in your life or were you abused?

What's a typical day like for for you...your routine,etc.

I suppose your parents think you are scum. Is that correct?

I'll have more questions.

MAN, YOU WERE ON THAT SHIT AT THAT KIND OF DOSE?

I'M SURPRISED THE WITHDRAWALS DIDN'T KILL YOUR ASS!

Rape is not really an issue here..in prison well, it was prison.
