Hey everyone. Calvin here again.. a few weeks ago I posted on here regarding a promise I made to my mom before she died about getting myself clean and sober... And well.. thanks to the help of an insanely generous stranger.. I made it down here to LA to check myself in last Thursday the 30th.. I had a good friend. Of mine drop me off so that I couldn't just up and decide to take off for any stupid reason.. and believe me... The past couple of days have been pretty brutal.. they allow smoking cigarettes here, but only if you can afford to buy them yourself as to keep people from bombarding everyone else with the ability to buy them for one.. also.. they are feeding me pretty well here, but one thing I wasn't expecting was the amount of cravings for sugar and sweet's that have been coming on CRAZY strong in the evenings which between that and the nicotine cravings it's been really hard to get any good sleep..
I was wondering/ hoping if there was anyone here that might be willing to help me with like $20 or however much so I can buy my own pack of cigarettes and some snacks for later in the evenings when my group therapy is all done and what have you... I can't express how grateful I am for the opportunity to be here at this facility.. but I'm really feeling like an idiot for coming down with some kind extra cash for things like this 🤦 I'm feeling A LOT like I'm stopping EVERYTHING all at once is too much for me and I desperately want this to work out.. So if anyone could be so kind to help with any amount, it all adds up.. thanks again Redding. Please keep me and my recovery in your thoughts and prayers so I may cone back a better version of myself that will be an asset to the community vs who I have been the past few years.
