How to stay sober when you get out of jail?
    #18979228 - 10/14/13 10:50 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I'm possibly going to jail on Friday and I plan on using it as a way to help put me back on the right path.

Last time I was in jail the whole time I was there I kept telling myself I wasn't going to use when I get out, and I really believed that, I started using again the day I got out.

Any advice on how I can stick with it?

Well first off you gotta eliminate the people you hang around with who use. Being around users will lead to using 99.9% of the time.

There's not much you can really do except have a stronger mind state. If you're addicted to a hard drug (which I am as well) you're probably not going to quit unless you really want to. That's the honest truth.
There's some things you can do to mitigate the chances. Like avoiding people who still use the drug you're addicted to and getting rid of your hookups numbers.
But if you want it bad enough, you're going to find it anyways.

Yeah I know, I don't really hang out with too many users, but most of my friends do use.

Yeah I just wish I knew how to get to that mind state.

I'm not really addicted to any drug in particular, I'm just addicted to using drugs in general.

And I really do want to quit, but I guess I just want to use more than I want to quit or something.

If you aren't addicted to anything in particular, especially physically, you are way better off. I'd rather be a mentally addicted poly-drug user than a physically addicted heroin addict like myself any day.
I don't know how to get that mind-state either. But if you really want to quit like you say, than you should be alright. You aren't going to have to worry about withdrawal or weening yourself off anything, and that's honestly more than half the battle with addiction a lot of times.

Jail isn't the place to turn your life around. That's the place you go when you've thrown away all those other options and don't give a damn.

If I'm going anyways I might as well take something positive from it.

You are talking out of your ass entirely and have no fucking clue about what jail is.  A lot of really good people get locked up, a lot of people that have their shit together get locked up.  In the future you probably shouldn't comment on shit for the entire sake of being an asshole.

When I got out of jail I was SUPER careful never to go back, seriously im not even kidding, turned my life around and made me a super safe/cautious person.

If im with someone and theyre doing something illegal like stealing or theyre fucked up in public to the point its even semi obvious, ill tell them to get the fuck away, or if we are driving, I want NOTHING in the car, LITERALLY, I WANT NO SEATS, NO ENGINE, I JUST WANNA SIT IN THE CAR,  last part was a joke lol.. If people wana stop and smoke a blunt in the car in the parking lot, ill ask for a cig even though I dont smoke and ill go wait away from the car. Id say it made me grow up really fast, I dont do no kid shit anymore.

I made a promise to myself while there, im never going back. This was a couple of years ago also.

I made a bunch of promises to my self, within a year or 2 I was back to being the same idiot.  I wasn't strung out at least and have stayed sober since.

Idk if my time in jail was worse maybe I'd really try to not go back, but I didn't mind it, it was kind of like a big party with card games, board games, a gym, books, TV, snacks, some alright people, etc... but no cigarettes/drugs/alcohol. Okay well maybe calling it a party is a bit of a overstatement, but it wasn't too bad, but the jail I was in was really laid back.


I made so many promises to myself, I was back to being the same idiot a few hours after I got out.

Its hard man, and jail is boring as shit but when you get out of there those are the first memories you want to forget.  Also, its so easy to lie to yourself when you've done it for so long.  What kept me off of opiates was just how shitty my life turned, vs how awesome it was when I got out.  Find new friends and keep yourself busy.

If AA or NA meetings come into the jail go to them. Get a meeting list. When you get out, hit a meeting first thing, raise your hand & share where you're at. People will help you.
