View Full Version : I guess I won!
speed_addiction 01-08-2004, 07:04 PM Two and a half years ago I was released after 74 months in prison. I came out with $50, two t-shirts, a pair of used sneakers and a
pair of jeans. My wife was living with the guy she conspired to kill me with. I saw my daughters three times in six years. Had no place to go.
A friend gave a chance to work for him and live in what used to be a small lounge at his gas station for truckers. It had a couch and a bathroom.
I fixed motorcycles and computers on the side after work. Pinched and scraped. Never turned down a day of work. Started seeing my girls again.
I was finally able to buy a motorcycle. Something that has always been a big part of my life. This was followed by a house (yeah my priorities are skewed the bike was first).
On August first I bought this! :D
Cool! That's a great success story and Kudos to you for doing so well!
