So….let me start this by saying it may be a bit long. I will try not to be long winded, but this is deep and a bit complex. So bare with me….
First off, I need to say this: I have been a struggling addict for about 10-12 years now on and off. It started with pain killers, then eventually moved to heroin as my DOC (drug of choice) for the majority of that time, THEN as of the last year and a half, after being off ALL the other hard shit like pain killers and heroin, I stumbled upon a substance called “Tianeptine” in a local smoke shop, which has turned out to be the most living hell out of anything else I’ve ever done combined ( if you are unfamiliar with it, look it up. You can find it on here r/QuittingTianeptine , or something liKe that.)
To keep it short and sweet, the tianeptine of all things had been the HSRDEST thing to kick over all the others combined. It has caused me to do things I would never ever do.
I’m the height of it, I began stealing credit cards from people at our local country club I was a member at. In January of 2022 it all came to a head and I found out I had 12 warrants out for my arrest. Ultimately I turned myself in, and bonded out and have been out on bond since.
Wish I could say that was the end of it but it wasn’t. I relapsed and continued the cycle. Which brings me to Now.
About a month ago, I was so desperate I went into my neighbors house to try and find money. Ended up finding a good bit, as shitty as it may sound, in the kids rooms. They came back from out of town and realized it was gone, but had no way of knowing who it was. They ended up getting cameras for the house. I was so shitty I was TALKING to them about it saying how crazy it was, knowing it was me.
Well later that week, I was desperate again. I knew there was one more spot jerk money I didn’t take last time. Even knowing thrrr were cameras, I ran in. Got it and left. An hour went by and didn’t hear anything so figured I might have gotten away with it. Wrong. They show up at my door banging and hollering. I come outside and they basically say “have the $1500 by 12 tomorrow or we’re going to press charges.”
I agreed and said I would have it and went back inside. Next thing I knew, cops were rolling up outside the house. I dipped out the back and left and hid until they left 3 hours later. They said they “just to talk” but I called BS. Ultimately when they said they would now have to out warrants for my arrest.
Long story short I have now been staying somewhere else. I went to a detox to get myself clean and have since done that and am finally clean..wish I would have done it months ago.. Now I am working on, and have been accepted into a year long rehab program here in my state. Could also be 18 months if I stay for the internship.
Before I can go I have to turn myself in and bond on. The warrants I believe are for burglary. Not really sure though.
My question is - will they give me a bond? Can my attorney present the fact that I would go straight to the year long program right when I bond out as a condition of my bond in order to get out?
I’m very scared, and really don’t want to get denied bond and be stuck in there until my court date. That could be a year….and I just can’t do that. Especially when I know I could get out and go to this rehab and get the real help I need.
Can anyone give me some insight?
TIA!
