Test Test Test
So, it's been a while.... I'm glad I remembered my password. That's a good thing. The blog post creation page thingy has changed quite a bit so I thought I'd type a quick post and then go ahead and publish it to make sure it's still working. I wonder if I have any readers left. Probably not but that's okay too. I've been MIA for about 6 months. I was in jail for 6 weeks and then I was in the Salvation Army In-patient rehab program for 4 and a half months. It was a really great experience for me. I made a lot of friends. I got up and worked in a warehouse everyday. I did 4 hours of classes at nights and I basically learned how to get into a steady routine, be accountable, get along with others (which you know I struggled with trememdously) and basically just learned to do whatever I was told without question. I had to give up control, follow directions and I worked really hard. I graduated on Friday and I got a new sponsor and I got my car back and I'm still in Drug Court and I'm still on Probation and I still have to do some out-patient classes and I have attend meetings everyday and it's all good. I'm so much happier and it's nice to feel like I've finally completed something. It's been a while since I felt good about myself. So, let me go ahead and post this. Happy Tuesday. I have court today at 2. It's just a status check. Nothing to worry about. I'll be posting a lot now.

Welcome back :)
I've been checking in pretty much each day hoping to see an update but pretty much resigned to the fact you were either in jail or dead, am so happy to see it was only the former.
It's great to hear you've made such a positive turn around, even comes through in your text how much happier you seem. I really hope it sticks for you but I stand by my words from last time this happened, as long as you keep fighting back you'll have support and readers.
Hopefully your folks are still there for you through all this and that the program and structure it gave you can help you find your way back to that positive sparkling person that was so engaged with her work, whatever it was at the time, and life in Vegas as I have a feeling you deserve it.
I came for the poker blog, I stayed for the Carmen blog and I'm glad that your still around for it :)

Carmen,
Good to hear you are back on track. Every day is a challenge, but it sounds like you have adjusted and want to move forward in a positive way.
I hope you are able to post often and continue to make positive changes in your life.
Good luck,

Glad to hear that things are working out for you, Carmen. I hope this is the start of many great things for you.
I will be in Las Vegas in about 12 hours. Let me know on my blog if you'd like some friendly blogger conversation while I am in town.
In any event, glad to see you back!

if u have no idea who a lot of these people are, they are all readers of my blog, a lot of whom will be in my private tourney 8pm june 24 at the riviera. also i moved the blog, its now at sevencard2003.proboards.com
i admire u for staying with the counseling and improving ur life, i only wish i could do the same. not even sure if the old counselor of mine even wants to see me again, she didnt answer her emails to her office at UNLV. but i really need to do it so i can stop playing VP machines and VBJ machines and stick to ONLY poker so i can be proud of myself too for once. Instead of always being ashamed of myself.
now that u are on ur own again, now is when the really hard work begins. its easy to do the right thing when locked up.

Glad to see you are back, mama!! I'm proud of all of your accomplishments, but most of all for the courage you show by picking yourself back up and doing what you need to do. We all stumble along our path! I've missed ya.
