She's BAAAAAACK.....and CHANGED!

Actually she's been back since May 12th, and I really can't believe the change in her. Yes, I'm talking about Sharlene. She must have changed as her parents even are letting her stay in her home.

While she was in jail, she got together with a group and she found the Lord. I'm serious! Every weekday she goes to AA meetings in different parts of Oceanside. I must drive her to these meetings and pick her up at least 8 times a week. On Sunday, she goes to church with her parents.

She blew off the guy in L.A. that wanted to marry her although he still has most of her possessions in a storage locker. She had me text him that she was OK and in a program.

Believe it or not, we haven't even gotten together since she's been out, although we plan on getting her a hotel room in a couple of weeks. She has to go back to jail on Tuesday for two week to clear up her warrants. She prefers doing this instead of doing community service work forever. I just hope that this time it's for real and doesn't relapse. I feel she's going to make it this time. Her parents are so confident that she will, that they offered her a key to their home which they would never do before.

Good for Sharlene!

AA is a marvelous program I hope she can stick with it.

Time will tell...

Good luck. My father owed a bar for 25 years and had a few customers who would come for a few drinks before they went to their AA meetings.

So are all the LVA members getting invited to the wedding at the Silverton's Grand Ballroom ?

Don't think so.

Good for her! Attending the AA meetings is major critical.

Change the places and the faces, be around those who want her to succeed, not sell to her and rope her back into their world; enablers, anyone drinking, shooting up, whatever...bad for her.

I'd be concerned about her wanting to do more jail time versus community service.

Service is therapeutic for recovery.

All the best to her and to you for helping her.

P.S. You can't drink around her right now, not that you would.

I know she's very happy that she got rid of the L.A. people.

I too am hopeful that someone who's spent so much of her life as a drug-addicted whore can clean up and become a productive member of society. I really hope she has a successful recovery and rehabilitation.

Still, that she's back to hanging around with one of her old Johns probably isn't a good sign.
