The abstinence experience in my case was a process of learning about myself. I learned how I reacted when I had to stop doing a behavior that was giving me satisfaction and pain.

I must admit it was once upon time that I wanted to just give in on my faith‚ but I stayed strong all the way through. But the county jail shows must people what their missing
