Re-entry to start a knew life

My name is Ronald Caudle. I have spent most of my life in prison. Due to being a alcoholic. Grew up the black sheep of a Foster family. Self esteem was hardly there in a positive way. Turned to drugs and alcohol to boost it. Then making stupid decisions that put me in prison numerous of times. Now self esteem is pretty low. Too low that it is causing really bad anxiety problems with me and everyone around me. I'm tired.... I really am tired. I quit pretty much every negative behavior in my life.. turned myself over to God.. put myself through welding school. Graduated top of my class. I have nothing but a but a girlfriend and her 2 kid's in my life. She supports us why I try and re-entry myself into society in s positive way. I really admire her faith she has in me. No one has ever given me s chance like that... Want to be the man she wants me to be. But I think I'm letting everyone down, including myself. People don't want to hire a convicted criminal. I have no car to drive outside of where we reside. I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO GIVE ME A CHANCE. I m finding myself loosing hope and it hurts. Is there any kind of help for someone like myself?
