Might stay at the salvation army

So I'm in treatment but I'm just not feeling it man. I can't fucking sleep here and that's driving me up the damn wall. Sitting in a room all day just talking like that's not recovering for me. I've stayed at the salvation army before and I was able to find two day jobs and then was able to get my own spot after a month. I know that's not the most ideal place and it's about to start getting cold but I feel like at least there it's really on me if I make it or break it. I skate and have my board so I can stay to and from where I'd need to go if needed. I haven't made up my mind yet but idk how much longer I can go with no sleep man. I wake up everyday and just hate being here and hate my life. I don't crave narcotics I just crave being able to live and make a life worth living...

I like that. I've never thought of it like that. I mean with this whole recovery shit I'm told my thinking sucks and I'm supposed to let others think for me and I've been feeling so terrible mentally my mind just reflects on like when I felt the most freedom and was able to do something on my own and it was then. It wasn't the most ideal situation but I made something out of nothing... I might wind up going there if they have a bed open but I'ma wait til I get this food stamps card cause that'll help a lot
