I broke down in tears and began to cry out to god. i had hit rock bottom. i felt so unworthy and so small and begged god for just a sliver of mercy, for help, for something. then in the middle of my cry for help, i heard three quiet but powerful words come into my thoughts that would change my life forever, "It'll be alright." As soon as i heard these words it felt like a bucket of warm tingling oil poured over my entire body from head to toe and i felt such a peace as i had never felt before in my life. i knew i was in god's hands now and everything was going to be okay.
Wow, harrowing though your experience was, that gave me the chills. Many are the stories of those who, lost in the darkness, cut off seemingly from their own resources, travel to the extremes. Some don't come back (at least for a while). Others hold that precious sliver of faith that somehow, there is Something That Answers... or there is Help available... or there is some power or resource or meaning greater than the individual self.
"It'll be alright" - what a beautiful gift to you at your greatest moment of need.

Turns out i would be the one who was in for a suprise.
: ) Indeed.

"megatonic" - that's a new one on me. I'm sure that they appreciate knowing that their work has offered such an empowering light in your journey.
Welcome to the forums and to a brand new, non-incarcerated chapter of your life, Brandon! A prodigal story of redemption filled with so much hope and promise for the future. Blessings to the road to come.
