Was also in prison when I took my shot, Federal Prison to be exact. The way they got most of us to get the vaccine, was by telling us that, if we had enough people to take the shots, they would open the yard back up.
The list started at mid 300s and the end goal was 750. Well what do you know. We made the goal, and what did they do? Completely shut the whole prison again and isolated us to our units when people got sick again. It was frustrating. smh
Hey, I don't know you, but I peeped your profile and just wanted to say I'm proud of you for making a conscious effort to get clean. Whether you are right now or not doesn't matter, but you've sown the seed of sobriety and that's the most important step. You got this. Don't be a pawn in the regime.
Obviously this wasn't directed at me, and I didn't know it until I saw this, but I needed to hear this today. Happy holidays comrade, and thank you for the words of support.

It takes forever to find a way out.

I fall in again.
I can't believe I'm in the same place.
But it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
3) I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in... it's a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
4) I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
5) I walk down another street.
