Thank you so much. Substance abuse, alcoholism, it's like being institutionalized. When you've served your time fully, the warden hands you your walking papers, it's like you really can't believe it, your're actually free. When you take those first steps away from the penitentiary grounds, you keep looking back, as if armed guards are going to come rushing out saying it was all a big misunderstanding, you really have a life sentence. But the more steps you take, away from that lonely prison cell, a realization comes over you. I am actually free! There is no one keeping me in bondage any longer! I am free to go where ever I please. Free. The only way I will ever be in prison again, is if I make a choice to have my feet take me back there, and who in their right mind would ever want to live in that place again? The farther you go, you realize, your mind is just right enough to know the difference between freedom, and insanity. Blessed be the Name of the Lord. <3 Sincerely, Glinda Gail
