Brothers Letter
Hey Man,
I was glad to get your letter today, And to hear that things are going good for you. Time passes so fast on the outside, but in here it’s slow. A day seems three days long and I sure will be glad to get this over with and behind me.
I am going to have a new way of life when I get out of here, A Drug free way of life. When I look back over my life man I can see so much pain that I tried to cover up with Drugs, and so much that I just threw away. It makes me sick and mad at myself. But I’m to blame, so I haft to deal with it and that’s the hard part. But I have come a long way. Dart has helped me in so many ways. I am glad that I got this chance to change. My friends did not get it. They are dead. I should have been, but God kept me here. Maybe I can help others not to go through the bull that I have. Some kids are at more risk than others. They all need a place to go and hear about God and about the world of Drugs and all the things that make it look so good. And it sure is made to look good, and fun, and the cool thing to do even when it’s not. It costs more than one should be willing to pay, but yet thousands go right on with it every day and never think about the cost. Like peoples lives; kids, parents and so on. When I think about the stuff I have done, the people I have hurt, I don’t feel like much of a man. But I will some how make a difference, and try to show people that my way of life was not right no matter how good people made it look. If you are involved with Drugs you will lose, and you may lose more than you are willing to. I’ll tell you man addiction don’t care who you are or how much money you have or even what you are addicted to. It just gets you and holds you in its grip and takes the very life out of you and makes you wonder why other people don’t have the problems that you do. It makes you think that you must be a bad person. That’s why I tried to stay away from every body. I did not want them to see how bad I was. Well we can talk about that later. I haft to go for now.
I love you man,
Your Brother
