I'm feeling really good today! Fridays are nice even when you don't have a job :) So, I went to Choices today for my class at 10 a.m. and to pee in a cup of course. My class is called "Transitional" and it's for people who just got out of in-patient or out-patient treatment. My guess is that they are "transitioning" us back into the real world or something like that. It's a small class and I know 4 of the people from Salvation Army cause they just graduated too. Today we did an exercise where we calculated all of the time and money spent on using drugs, legal consequences, lost wages, higher insurance rates, lawyers, rehabs etc. If I told you guys how much money I calculated in just lost wages, attorney fees and fines alone.. you would lose your minds. Not pretty. Oh well. Anyway, so, right now I'm listening to Bob FM online. I love this station. We used to listen to it all day in the warehouse and I'd just be singing along cause you know they play a lot of 80's music and I'm like a product of the 80's so I love it. The girls that were around my age loved this station too and I guess the younger ones didn't care for it. But, oh well. Whatever. I went to this Honda place yesterday and got an application. I gotta be honest. I'm nervous about finding a job. Not the working part. Just the filling out the application part I guess cause I haven't worked in a while and I really don't know how to explain it. I mean, I guess I'm supposed to be honest but damn. I feel like I'll never get a job if I tell them where I've really been and what I've really been doing. I NEED to find a job though. Gas, car, fines, court costs, probation fees, etc. are really adding up. Not to mention the cost of my energy drink habit :) Monsters are freakin expensive. My best friend, Veronica is graduating from Salvation Army today. I'm so excited that she's going to be out with me. We will definitely be hitting meetings and staying clean together. She has five awesome kids and an amazing husband and she just comes from a really nice supportive environment as do I. So, we have a lot in common. She helped me to be strong and stick it out in rehab even when I didn't want to. I hope I did the same for her too. Anyway, I'm totally addicted to Bejeweled 3. Does anyone else play it for hours on end like me????? Tomorrow is my birthday and I'm playing in a poker tournament with my parents. It's at the clubhouse in their community. Should be fun!!!! I hope I win.

Lurking reader here; great to see you back! I was worried, to be honest. You're a great writer, and you've clearly overcome a lot of obstacles. I'll make sure to check back more often...

Are you sure Jscca, that you are not Fleastiff in disguise?

Congratulations on being "sprung" from detention.
