Day 34, well everything in my life has changed so much in the last thirty four days, the light at the end of my tunnel is so bright now I can barely look at it. Well it seems I have two major problems that need to be taken care of, where to live, and the worst of the two, legal issues, I think most druggies have legal issues, luckily mine are only crimes committed against myself. You see I got arrested last year for a crack pipe and when I went to court they put me on probation and I had to drug test, being the idiot that I was I failed my first test. Well the judge gave me a year without even thinking about, after about two months he let me out on house arrest, I did pretty good on it, I'm not saying I wasn't using , just being more careful and not using as much. Well after about five months they got me with another dirty test. So I guess if they want they can put me in jail for seven months. I do not go anywhere without looking over my shoulder; I won't get into a car that's not registered, either way it's an awful way to live. I will try to save up enough money for a lawyer and bail money over the next month. Hopefully the judge will see the changes I have made in my life and the things I'm trying to do with this blog and take those things into consideration, the last thing I want to happen is to lose all you people reading my blog. Either way the court decides to go; this is a problem that I need to take care of. Ive had a hard time talking about this because I feel like I'm letting everyone down but the more I think about it the more I think telling you is the right thing to do. I would feel twice as bad if I got pulled over and taken to jail and was just gone, that definitely would not be fair to all that have stood by me.
In this new life of mine I have learned that you are only as good as your word, and that is exactly what I will be, I have already talked to Hilary and she said if they put me in jail I can write her and she will post. It might take a little bit to get the posts back on schedule because sometimes you can sit in a holding tank for days before they move you to where you can have a pencil and paper. Whatever they decide I will make the best of it, if I am in jail I will write about jail, well anyway that won't be for a couple of weeks but I thought it was only fair that all of you know what may be to come.

I believe brother and have seen miracles. I thought before I even read your post, go get an attorney and dot your I's and cross your T's with all that you have been doing. If at least possible ask the lawyer if he can request one more chance at probation. Your the man Hudnall keep doing what is right and make right from wrong. I believe you will overcome this and I ask all who read the comments that believe to pray Gods mercy and grace on you brother.
ReplyDeleteYou were doing so good I forgot to add you to my prayer list but brother your there now.
God Bless You Jimmy and keep on smiling knowing what you are doing is right brother!
Jimmy, you CAN do this! I believe in you and know that you can. If you need to go back to jail to to help clear this out of your life, then that is what you need to do. Sometimes we need to go back and clean up messes in order to move forward. Discussing this with the world will help keep you accountable. If it is something you need to do, then do it! I'm behind you! :) K in SD
ReplyDeleteDamn Jim, I don't even know how many times i have been in that same situation, only difference was I was not responsible enough at the time to clear things up before getting arrested. I commend you for facing this head on, even though it sucks it is the right thing to do and I ain't going anywhere, I'll be right here waiting for you, and will shoot you some letters in jail too if it should come to that. I really feel that things will go well at court for you. You are doing all the right things so God willing the judge will see that!! I love you my friend! Paula
ReplyDeleteI hope that your new behaviors are taken into acct. I have no real understanding of the Tenn Law community but recall they arrested my brother 59 years ago for being a "California Hippie" and him with money in his pocket and no
ReplyDeleterecord.........Oh well, you Mom went and got him.
So.......God know what they will do.........
But I think you need to get this taken care of.
No Matter what happens. If they do put you in jail.......use the time to write....and write and write...........hugs........Aunt P
There is another way to look at this, Jim. What an opportunity for you to witness to others if you get to go back to jail for a while! Don't get me wrong, I'm not wishing this on you, but if God brings you to it, He'll see you through it! It's all good if you're surrendered to Him! At least they're not planning to execute you like they were Peter in Acts 12! Don't worry. We're all behind you. We won't go away (at least not permanently)! Still praying.

This reflects incredible growth and maturity - to acknowledge the problem, and to deal with the problem. If you go in voluntarily and submit to a drug test that shows your sobriety, things should hopefully go more favorably than if you get "caught". If you have a lawyer AND an employer, so much the better. Now you can use your skill as a communicator to convince a judge that the greater good is in keeping you OUT of jail.
ReplyDeleteHey Jimmy. Sorry I haven't commented in a while was caught up in my own little world just wanted to let you know I am back on here. ~d
