Day 18
Today is Cinco de Mayo. Which tends to
be a big drinking day for me. I know last year it was a non-stop
party that day. It almost ended in a lot of people I know getting
into trouble too. It’s sad to say, but I’m probably one of the
few who is glad that I’m locked up on days like this. At least I
know that if I’m in here today, I’m not getting into any trouble.
Outside of here, everyday is unpredictable. Even though I’m
confident I’ll be able to stay sober, I still fear my release date.
Everything is so much easier to manage in here. I don’t even have
to think very much in here. One day I hope this fear of freedom will
go away. When I earn my freedom, I want to enjoy it.
(Counselor Note - Other than partying, how’s this
day important to you?)
