Have you ever felt alone at times but really you weren't alone? Is what I mean is at times even though I'm locked in prison with a few thousand guys, 900 of these guys on the yard I'm on, 90 guys total in the dorm I'm in and I can still feel alone.
When I think about it, there is not one second in a 24 hour period that I am ever by myself. So why do I feel alone???? It's because I'm away from the people I love most and that's my family. I feel that I'm thinking about this right now because of the visit I just had from my sister and nephew. It was a wonderful visit and I really had a good time. It brings to reality how much I miss my family and it shines the light on how much I feel alone without them near me.
So if anyone happens to be reading this right now why don't you go give one or all or your family members a hug and tell them you love them. If you can't go to a family member, then go to a loved one.
Keep in mind how lucky you are to have a family member or someone you love there for you to hug and get a hug from. There are alot of people who don't have that and would give anything to have it.

Hey Jimmy, I am so happy to hear that you are feeling free despite your circumstances. My son is a recovered addict (18 months, yay!)but your words and experiences really resonate with me. Whenever he struggles over a certain action he needs to take and asks his sponsor if he really *has* to do this, he sponsor simply says this... "How Free do you want to be?"
It speaks volumes to me that you can feel and appreciate the love of your family. Addictions can certainly block us from feeling that love, take it for granted or abuse it.
Keep the faith, Jimmy. I am rooting for you and love that you have turned this around to help others.
God Bless.
