YEARNING FOR SUPPORT PEOPLE

Sitting behind bars without support people is a struggle. I've written out dozens of times trying to be placed on sites so that I may begin my process with a structured support system. The actual definition of a support system behind bars are really just individuals willing to make a small commitment towards helping the individual between meeting goals, corresponding, not necessarily financially but morally towards a common cause during his/her incarceration and re-integration, lending friendship, simply writing is a positive method. You do not have to have knowledge inn recovery and can learn simply off the internet and give feedback. I am seeking any individual who wishes to help me in my journey. I will first state that I need you desperately. I have never actually had a support team and have been a failure. I'm tired of spending my life behind bars and willing to commit to any studies, goals, and have decided although when I am released I won't just re-enter the world for freedom but re-enter it for proper rehabilitation whether it be a 6 month drug program or two years. I wish to commit my life to recovery and helping others and becoming a support system for others. This is what's in my heart. But I need you out there to strengthen me, inspire me, push me in ,y walk just to there to listen and tell me if I'm wrong contradict me or praise me when I've done something right for a change. Did you know that 50% of the people who re-enter the world without a support system fail? I don't want to be part of that percentage any longer but I can't do it without you. I'm an addict with dependency and depression and that's another reason I've used in the past, I've felt 'ALONE' like no-one really cares! I've been abandoned and shunned, lost most of my family and the rest are strangers. That hurts a lot to have family and not know them or think they do not care. I'm not asking you for sympathy I'm asking you for your help and it's not much of a commitment, (pride) has always held me back and prevented me from asking anyone for help, and if you have it you could relate to how it feels. I've always tried to be independent finally finding out I can't do this 'alone'.

And feeling a burning desire to make it in life and succeed in recovery. Any information on drug recovery program will help also that accept people without the fee Because I am indigent. Some that accept parolee's preferably.I have one year till I come back up for parole for my fourth time and I'd like to have a plan, a support team, and goals met, and in place. Your support means the world to me and the time and effort you make.

I look forward to hearing from you and sharing my life's struggles.

Respectfully

Teddy Drake
