Hello, Whomever is reading this, I am Jess, Jesse, Jessica or inmate #8*****! This app is only as revealing as we make it so here it goes nearly 3 years ago I decided that a decade was long enough to be devoting all my time to my D.O.C whether it was using, chasing or sitting in jail because of it. Got my first taste at 17 but still at 27 found myself hunting it down as if it sustained my life it was very hard to see how bad it wrecked my life over and over because when i felt down there was the answer in my syringe it brought chaos to everybody around me and isolated me from everybody for years at a time when i did have a job it was a revolving trend of working to get high and getting high to work, it was hard to imagine being clean for even 3 days so seeing sobriety broken down to sober breaths and heartbeats is empowering
