    Bro if you get a little help when you get out it goes a long way. The last time my brother got out of prison I picked him up and I could tell if he stayed around me he would end up back in prison. I dropped him off at his parole office and he went to a so called half way house. I felt like I failed him but I knew it was what he needed. He got into this hotel on grand Avenue close to Indian school rd. I would pick him up and take him grocery shopping and little shit like that. Whatever program he was in really helped him. He would go to work and would attend church groups along with NA. Today he owns his own house, 2 healthy little boys and a great position with a construction company. He’s a project manager for a good company and has his own company truck, which he’s never had before due to not having his drivers license in order. Anything is possible with a little help and a lot of WILL!

      Yeah exactly that's the problem most of them don't really care.
      I'm on 1 8mg suboxone a day and 2mg of klonopin am and PM which is 4mg a day. I'm sick of the crutch and want to b truly FREE but scared to get off THE Benzos💥🧠. It's been ATLEAST 5-6 years straight 🥶🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
      ANY ADVICE ON WHERE OR HOW TO START, PLEASE LET ME KNOW THERE'S HOPE🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👊🏼

    • @sad2540
      @sad2540 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Try talking to a doctor about a plan to ween your way down from the klonopin. Cold Turkey withdrawal with benzos can be fatal! That doesn’t sound like too high of a dose though, slowly weening down over a long course of time with a medical professional’s guidance is your best & safest option.

    @hover_roller_balance_boards 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yah this was deep convo. Good advice. Convict knowledge is the truth.
    Speaking of advice I don’t know what to do Big Herc. I patented this removable foam roller side wheels and after 3-4 yrs and only 16 yrs left in my patent I still can’t license it. Every brand strings me along and then refuses to license. They won’t steal it they just back out with no justification. I have cost estimates and everything? No brand since 70’s either balance boarding or foam rolling has ever added a wheel. It offers any height elevation, keeps shirt from getting caught , use on any surface clean roller , grab side wheels , loop resistance bands under. Total competitive advantage. Yet they refuse to add a mf wheel??? It’s like some twilight zone shit. Why is it such a big deal or so I marketable. It makes no sense. They have yoga wheel sets why not a foam roller wheel set to elevate. I’m starting a business adding lawn mower wheels to existing brands. Got a few customers. It seems excessive I have to do this. Oh well get er dunn! F em
    If you wanna invest I’d be honored. You can own 95%. It’s about $150k investment unless you just do an axle version that Adapts to TP therapy 26” rollers. Market $35 a set 8” or 10”.

    Prison Question: I have a very enlarged prostate (no cancer), but I have to urinate every 1 or 2 hours. I am also 70 years old, so if I am annoying my cellmate I would probably lose out on a physical confrontation. If It was the opposite situation, I would be PISSED OFF (Pun intended).
    I am planning a major heist and have to prepare for the worst (Murphy's Law). Bottom line is I have to use toilet at night every 2 hours. How can I survive this situation, PLEASE ADVISE.
    I have been planning this caper for years but my prostate has gotten progressively worse.

    I'd be amazed if Garrett doesn't resent his sister to this day, even if she's dead already, because that shit alone made my blood boil
