Ever feel like you are pinned in a corner....

Living in a blue state YES !
I highly agree with Jim lusk' s post.
I put myself into a real **** life addicted to everything illegal & alcohol too, losing everything but a glimmer of hope, thanks to police who were allowed to do their jobs I got myself taken care of & learned to appreciate everything. The wealthiest I've ever felt was when I had 1 year sobriety, still had nothing but knew I could make a life if I kept trying.
