have you tried either public housing or section 8?
Iām back in rehab. Some people was still there from when i left. The halfway house denied me because of me being sz and they said they didnāt have a dr for that. So Iām in rehab likeā¦ man. I had plans but none of them carried out. Its the beginning of September. And i was trying to deal
there are also group homes.
I had court coming up but i had a extension since i was basically hospitalized or in rehab. I still dropped clean for weed for the first time and i did the inpatient stay so i was legally straight. My problem was my next destination
I had a list of group homes, sober living homes,halfway homes, programs etc but they all had money requirements, waiting lists or only accepted certain people
disability.gov I think has low income housing for the disabled but they all have waiting lists
This time i didnāt stay the whole four weeks.
I didnāt care but i was somewhat disappointed. Next thing you know I was back in my neighborhood with my bags and ten dollars without a place to go. But i said Iāll figure something out tomorrow morning. That first night i remember stashing my bags and walking to the other side of the city to buy some weed. The streets was quite and some houseās became vacant that was once occupied. The blocks became empty
That night i slept in a high school bus.
eventually crashed at my friends house for the next few days. O f course i couldnt stay there forever because he stayed with his mom. its mid september so it wasnt to bad outside.
I left from there and went to stay with a former drug dealer that i use to buy from. I asked him if they had and places for rent around or where he was, I was beating around the bush. He offered his place for 150 a month for a room. I later realized it was a bad idea. Even being there was toxic. His name was Bruceā¦Bruce Rambo and he had anger issues with his ex who was staying there. Once i got there they ended up sleeping in different rooms . It was Bruce, his ex, their child and another girl that was staying there.
there was alot of drama but i couldnt complain. My issue was the fact that they had bed bugsā¦damn again . the sleep demons was present. Whenei first got there i was sleeping in the living room because they had seperated and there was another girl there. First night on the couch the bed bugs had a gig going on. eventually i moved into the room with the girl but then she got kicked out becuase she didnt have money like that. she was cool though. When she left things got boring. I only seen her one time after she left and that was some weeks after
so eventually money got tight and i was getting close to my rent deadline. Bruce wasnt having good moments and its like he was making threats but not direct. Like when he kicked that girl out he was like āi dont play about my moneyā im like yeaā¦
so its like the first week of october of 2016. and something made me steal someones car. It was parked in a train lot parking lot(aka the āboxā)
the door was unlocked and the key was the the middle compartment. It wasnt pre meditated. I just found myself trying to get something to help and my thoughts was all of a sudden focused on a random car out a set of cars. so happened to be ā¦unlocked with the key. its dark out and im looking around the car, the key looked werid so ididnt really think it was the key to the ignition. after i searched the car i tried the key and the car started up. I felt warm. I played a song and drove out the parking lot. I then started to feel a manic episode because i was singing to the song driving and i had this energy. I was high off this petty thrill
i was thinking about selling it for a decent price then i thought about returning it because you cant sell a hot car for a decent price uneless you get somebody.i pulled up to my friend Bās house but he didnt want to come since i told him what was up. He later called back that night and joined.
all of a sudden people started treating me different
some of the petty dealers was hating because they thought i was on the come up.
the gang included me of course, B , and my guy that just got out(prison) We are all really good people. The guy that just got out didnt know it was stolen at the time. We put gas in the car, went washing, job hunting, gave people ridesā¦i was just excited to drive. I didnt sell it because of that really.
On october 7th i had court, I remember driving to courtā¦i didnt park at the court house though. I completed my rehab stay and dropped clean so i felt positive for the first time in the court room. They let me goā¦cased closedā¦no more probationā¦im done. They judge terminated my case or whatever since i didnt cath another case and i was on meds. I had ammoā¦yea im on meds i did this and that.I left court and went to the car. I was happy but i knew it wasnt over .that car became my life for some reason.I left from Bruce house because it became uncomfortable plus the block was noticing me and what was going on. I caught i L and from there i was living out the car.The car was better in reality compared to Bruces house. I could sleep better and go anywhere. MY so called friends treated me differently like they needed me
