Ok. Last year I was caught steeling from Menards in Minnesota. I had stolen small items before but this time it was like I had lost my mind. I stuck all kinds of things in my truck and tried driving through the checkout. I knew I had been seen and it seemed like I did not even care. That was in May. It took until September to get a court date; I had a lawyer and made a pretty good deal. 40 hours of community service and probation for 1 year and a class. Well I was doing well. I am even seeing a psychologists and psychiatrist. I stopped for quite a while then it started again. Just little things here and there. I don’t set out to do this I just get stupid. On Thursday I was caught in Wisconsin with 10 dollars worth of saw blades I did not even need. Now I have broke my probation, have no money for a lawyer, and a new court date in Wisconsin and have no idea what is going to happen in Minnesota.

If anyone has advice I would appreciate it. And words of hope never hurt either.
