7 Are you tired of juggling drugs, alcohol, and crime with the life you really want? If so, and if you are ready to change, sign up for GP outreach today and learn how to make your transition into the AIP as stress free as possible. *Be on the look out for the next round of G.P. Outreach Sign Up Sheets on your unit. If you miss the Sign Up Sheet please send a communication to Mr. Washington to be added to the list* Here s what a G.P. Committee member has to say; I have spent the last few years of my life in my addiction. I have a 5- year-old son and am now divorced after a 12-year relationship with my high school sweetheart. When I came to prison all I could think about was how I took a picture perfect life and walked all over it like it was nothing. I was lost! I tried time and time again to do it on my own, but I couldn t. I reached the point where I gave up. My soul was tired and I had to quit living the self-absorbed life that I was living. Since I have been in the program, I have been afforded the opportunity to learn what I was doing wrong in my everyday life. This program has enlightened me to the point that it makes me sick! I was living my life in ignorance for far too long. I have now reached a point where I feel like a 1,000 lb. weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I have confidence in my recovery and in myself now. I have the tools and thinking habits that it takes to live a pro-social, respectable life in my community. So if you re sick of this lifestyle you can change, if you put your heart and soul into your recovery. This program is for anyone. It doesn t matter if this is your first time to prison or your 10th, you can turn your life around here at AIP. Here are a couple of sayings that have helped me in my recovery: 1. You cannot win a war with just one battle. So remember, recovery is a lifestyle not a goal. 2. You can achieve anything you set your mind to; the only thing stopping you is you.
