You need a change of environment.
New place to live and work away from where old acquaintances know where to find and hassle you.

If you have a Parole officer talk to them about it.
If not, find a charity that will help re-settle you.
Without knowing where in the world you are i can't advise further.

But a quick search online should throw some answers your way.
Good luck.

Can you move somewhere else and start over?

What would happen if you said no?

To people who harass OP for not just ignoring his old criminal friends. They aren't giving him a choice. They ask but what that means is they threaten him to do their dirty job. They don't take no for an answer.

OP leaving town is what I would do. It's definitely easier than just waiting for next sentence, that's not a life.

I would rent it out second hand while you get away and look for your new place. Then you sell your old house.

20% of your life squandered away in controlled movement. Really alomst 50% of your adult life. For what?

At 52 it's about time you took responsibility for your own actions. Will they do the time for you?
Say NO and talk to someone in authority who can help you and don't make excuses.

This is really very sad, it proves we are creatures of habit,.. cigarettes, etc are bad for us, but sometimes the people we know are worse!!!! This is such an example..

Please get away from those people and don't be afraid to start afresh

I can't believe this has to be said. Stop interacting with those people. Cut them off. Tell them to go fuck themselves. You've done enough for them.

You sound like a movie cliche, 52 and only ten years? That's short timer compared to most recidavists.
