Stay strong! It's really worth it! 
When I 1st got clean everything was going wrong literally! Just gotta stay strong think positive and one day at a time sty clean things do get better just takes time!!! Just know you Are worth it!
Any day free is better than being locked up. Being incarcerated can really mess with your mind. It just takes time to find your footing. Facing the challenges post incarceration is no joke. Just get a job, keep your nose clean, and it will get better. And if you miss it so bad. Hospitality groups go in and host meetings behind bars. Kairos hosts ministry in prison as well. Lots of ways to have Comradery. You don't need prison or jail to have security or friends. Hang in there. Get support where you can.
I hope you can get through the confusing time in your life
Thank you for sharing, Jeff. I am so sorry things are feeling this way for you. You’ve got this, though. Take it one day at a time. Do you have any meetings you attend? Sober friends you could reach out to?
I am available if you’d like to talk.
It’s okay to feel overwhelmed right now. It’s apart of the recovery/healing process. The fact that you’re staying sober despite these feelings shows how strong you are, that’sa hugeWIN! Life outside can feel unpredictable, but it’s also where growth happens. Keep leaning on your prayers, and don’t hesitate to reach out to people in our community who care, whether it’s here, in meetings, or through other supports. YOU GOT THIS!

I felt similar when I first got out....
I even thought about revoking my own DOSA because it was better than using it again.
But I found a fellowship that made me not feel alone anymore.
And I found a program that made me feel good abiut myslef.
And now I'm in a place a healing and liking myself and my choices
Stick with it...
Don't give up on yourself..
You got this, amd it gets easier. I swear
