People in these programs work the system, I wouldn't trust a god-damned one one of them, you might help one or two who were worth helping the rest are future gutter trash, working the system.

I was future gutter trash too.

Right up until I decided not to be.

You had a problem and didn't like it so You changed. They had a problem and needed an excuse for their problem, mostly because the slammer loomed.

I am glad you didn't go the gutter trash way, you have interesting and humorous views on things.

I hear ya. while I managed to stay away from drugs.. I was no angel...

The local LEO knew me by name. At the detention center well... “you again?” was normally what I heard.. I think I spent more time in the detention center one year, that outside of it. Come to think of it, I suspect that happened a few years..

I got so bad my own mother turned me in (as she should!) talk about a wake up call. sleeping on the couch and being woke up by the LEO your mother called.

I hear ya on the future gutter trash comment. It takes two to correct our ways. We both stopped being gutter trash when WE decided not to be. At that point we became the 2 worth helping.

The other one? Well for me.. It was God. If he can’t do it. No one can ;)
