Can it get any worse?

I am writing to let all of you going through detox my story. You will certainly feel better about yourself. In June I have to surrender to prison for a ten year term with no chance for parol (federal). I have been addicted to hydocodone for 5 years. I take an average of 30 10/325 pills per day. I had a wife and two kids and a very successfull business. I started taking pills that were prescibed for degenerative disks in my back. Over the past 5 years I did whatever it took to get those damm pills, including defrauding people out of over 7 million dollars.  I had it all and lost it all because of drugs. I am being sent to detox in prison and I am sure once I wake up from the drug haze I am going to be devasted that I lost my family. I have detoxed myself twice only because I started having trouble getting pills. Think of it this way. It will be 7-14days of your life and you will be free. Please dont make the same mistakes I made and lose what is really important. Pray for me as I will pray for all of you.

God save us all

I will try and keep this positive. I have some experience with Federal Prisons. At the very least you will be somewhere where they have resources. The feds just plain have more money and that makes a big difference. The State places are even worse. PM me if you desire to talk at all about any questions you may have or just to chat - and good luck....
