Almost every day I see young men making mistakes that will follow them for the rest of their lives. I pray that they can turn it around and become productive members of our community.
Amen Brother!! I was in that life years ago and it’s rough. It’s INSANE to be completely honest. The written definition of insane is “doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result” Each night you say to yourself your gonna get it is this life yet every morning you wake up you hate everything about your life and you do whatever it is you’ve been doing too mask the pain your feeling emotionally and or physically saying things are gonna happen today and in gonna make it happen but your lying to yourself. The way to get out is thru recovery and for that to work you l each person had to desire it in their heart and soul it it won’t work. People can want it for you all day long but until you they want it for themselves it won’t work. It only took me going into rehab 6 times to stay clean. Regardless though, they need help. Most are good, God getting folks just trying to make it till tomorrow.
Thank you for seeing them and recognizing the situation. It’s hard to find kindness in that life.
God 🙏 bless
