Inmate Reveals Craziest Stories From A Life Of Crime | Jimmy McGill

Jimmy McGill suffered from addiction for almost three decades. Starting at age 11, Jimmy followed down the path set for him by his father and grandfather, turning to substances to cope with his circumstances. After a string of arrests and releases, Jimmy was paroled to a recovery residence and began a new phase of his life as a sobriety activist. Jimmy is a champion of the peer recovery movement and is leading the way in his home state of Arkansas, which he says has “grabbed the torch.” Listen to him talk about the importance of these kinds of programs and how he hopes to reach those who were “considered unreachable and unteachable” through his platform.

It’s not like it’ll automatically make you de-rail & spiral out of control… A few pills during the music festival isn’t going to hurt. If anything it will be a chance to relax a bit & take the load off.

    Heading to treatment Monday. I tried to get in one detox after the next and none accepted me for one reason or another even though I was visibly sick as hell. I eventually beat the withdrawals cold turkey while trying to get in. I've been at the shelter to make matters worse, in the belly of the beast around all the drugs. When my friends sent money I spent it on monsters and cigarettes. I get to start a new life Monday. Thanks for the inspiration. Sometimes it's one day at a time, others it's an hour at a time. Thanks for a good two hours of recovery! Bless you both!

I saw and did my fair share of drugs while locked up, but I never saw a knife or a booty bandit, and never heard of either one being around. Where I was at, it was basically like a day care for adults that were in time out. There were a few fights (I was in one), but I never saw any of the crazy stuff these guys talk about.

    I fucked up and showered without shoes one time when I was locked up. I got some crazy kind of Athlete's Foot that took me ten years to get rid of. I had to go on prescription meds. It was terrible. For me, the hardest thing to get used to when I got out was sleeping in the dark. They left the lights on 24/7 where I was at, and I got used to sleeping with the lights on. It took me a long time to get accustomed to the dark again. My senses also went crazy when I got out. We didn't have outdoor yard, so I had basically smelled nothing but feet and ass the whole time I was in. The first time I smelled a flower was crazy.
