I have been to the very depths of hell and back I started using drugs at a very young age with the influences of my older brother it was not long after that I started skipping school and it wasn't long after that I ended up in trouble with the law.this all started about the age of 13 just petty run ins with the law at this point I had pretty well stopped going to school altogether and my drug use continued and so did the run ins with the law a couple years later I found my self sitting in juvenile hall this was regular routine till I turned 18 and shortly after that I found myself sitting in county jail. Relationships were pretty short lived I mean who wants to be with a drug addict in and out of jail. Going to fasr rorward a couple of years and the same life style continued then I found myself back in county jail about that family had all but disowned me but this time the judge didn't let me out After sitting there in county for a few months it was sentencing time I was all set to go home and the judge had different plans he had been seeing me in and out of his court room since I was 13 years old and sentenced me to one year in prison but that was his fault not mine it was everybody's fault but mine so after I got out I stayed on the straight and arrow for about three whole hours and I found myself at the liquor store I was on parole and not supposed to be drinking . I lasted on parole for about two months and was back to prison to finish my prison sentence. After finishing my sentence I figured that it was still everyone's fault but my own that my life was a total.wreck I decided it was the fault of everyone I know so if I move from here and don't know any one that I will be able to get my act together. So I up and moved to a Ruidoso New Mexico where I did pretty good for awhile until I started meeting people and yes you guessed right they were all the wrong people to meet including my ex wife now don't get me wrong I love my ex wife to this day she gave me to wonderful children but when we met we were prey heavey in to the drugs and alcohol after being together for about a year she was pregnant .shortly after finding out that we were going to have a child I ended up in jail for drugs the bond was to high for her to bond me out so I sat in jail and once again sentence day came and New I was going home to be with my girlfriend and soon to be baby son . Instead I was sent this time to 3 years in prison and I missed the birth of my son I got out went to work and soon after my daughter was born. While in prison this time I figured I gotta change so I got my ged did nothing with for another 22 years today I'm clean and sober have 4 years now and starting trade school for wind turbine tech im fifty now don't know where I'm going but know where I don't wanna go. I am hoping Texas to work in the wind farms there . Thank you
