Dear Angela, well it certainly has been awhile since we have last spoken with each other, I hope you and your daughter's are doing well. As for me I could never be better I have two years and nine months sober today and loving life. I never thought in a million years that I would make it this far but I am doing so much better than I was doing awhile ago when I was in my addiction. I graduated from drug court back in June of 2010 and thought that since I was done being watched 24/7 by my probation officer and walking on egg up until I graduated that I just might slip back into my old habits once again. Then I began to think about how far I have come in my life being sober and how easy it is lose everything that I have built up so far in a blink of an eye, and there is no way I am giving any of this up not for all the money in the world. I also still have been working towards my dream of becoming a probation officer and have been taking more classes so that I can transfer to a four year college as soon as possible, I have yet decided on where I will be going due to the fact of taking your advice and exploring all of my options. I just might be going to an out of state university but we will cross that road when it comes up. I try to keep myself busy everyday because I truly believe that idle hands are the devils playground, but I still take it one day at a time.... Well I hope to hear from you soon and thank you so much for all the advice you gave me when I was one of your students.


P.S. How is the chocolate addiction going??
