From weed, hash, and cocaine era in combonation with alcohol I was mentally strong and saved myself through the Heavenly Father and His Son that the Holy Spirit would guide me and take that desire from my mouth and so it was. Then crack come along and took away my attention span and I allowed myself to be subduced and controlled for four years on the drug. I decided to get myself incarcerated instead of being submitted to a ADRC. So I caught myself off guard and sold to and undercover when there was a drug bust happening on the next block over. Being incarcerated was my cure; even now I might buy a beer, be that it is new to the company and that would be just to test it or it must be social; Ican almost say I don't drink. I'm petitioning for expungment after 16 years and 10 years to retire, my mind is set to gracefully retire without that bad episode in life. That episode has kept me from being hired by other companies that I would like to finish out the years with. I worked for three companies starting in 1991-1999, 1999-2002, 2002-2008 from FL-NY-FL and now here in NY unemployed because of the background check a person told me over the phone for a job at one of many reputable companies that I've applied to. The time I done is enough for me and what I do occassional is make an attempt to help other indivisuals to clean their minds and body in hopes that they don't become slaves to any drugs specially illegal. I know of people in the fields of Engineer and now Taxicab drivers and a person who died because the body could not sustain being without crack to exceed the age of 55. My life is straight, I need to get back to work. "FREE ME", please.
