And be very careful with your earthy vernacular. All those dropped g's like "Grabbed off the street for doin' nothin' but mindin' my own business" can get very hokey very quickly.

I'm just envisioning how a street character would speak. I don't know nothin' about nothin', me.

I was going for more Sopranos than Shaft, but whatever. Hilarious piece of classic comedy.

bat is right... You need to learn the lingo in order to make it sound legit. Do your homework, trollheart.

It's ghetto af. Half the people in there are on papers. Either trying to get a charge dropped or on parole. There's not a lot of deep introspection. And dudes will try you. You can let it slide to an extent before people see you as a bitch. So I don't wanna hear about how name calling is bad. You have to stand your ground.
Lets play "Who went to the worst rehab!" lol no lets not.

I've been through quite a few, actually. The one you're describing sounds a lot like a few of the ones I went through, but they were all there to help if you wanted it. If you are willing to go to any length to get clean, it doesn't matter what it "feels" like or what you think people see you as. Who tf cares. Focusing on those 'perceived' negatives only diminishes the positives. I just wanted to straighten my life out, not make an impression on the people around me. You have to either be brave enough to have that mindset, or you have to be at the end of your rope. I was the latter.

I've been through homelessness, many years of drug addiction, many rehabilitation systems, jail, and prison. Things gradually changed for the better when I finally stopped playing the victim and started taking responsibility for my actions. Finding out why I wanted to self medicate was a big part of that process, and you can do that anywhere.

Careful with that bootstrapping talk. You're likely to offend some delicate sensibilities.

This may be like a “duh” question or one you might not want to get into or would rather PM but were your addictions accompanied with really acute physical withdrawal?
