A couple months ago, it seemed like she was still completely in love with him and missing him, and now that he's out, she's not sure if he's 'the one.'

Amy seems to enjoy being riled up with drugs and on drugs most of the time. I think she's hit rock bottom a long time ago but she still doesn't seem to get the point. It doesn't seem like she wants to quit. Sometimes you do things that are bad for you and you know you should stay away from them yet you dont want to because you like it. I think that might be her case. I think there also might be a chance that she doesn't want her husband now because hes not going to be high on drugs like her anymore. He's going to be sober and probably get her to quit aswell, and she may not want to be sober at all. I could be very wrong but that's my theory.

I agree you should stay longer in a treatment center. Some people may thing that 30 days is enough, it gets you sober detoxified and you learn a few things as well. I read that one story a million little pieces and a person wasn't released from a treatment center untill he had completed all the 12  steps. I think thats a good way because then your safe to be out in the real world again. I do think that somethings in your life need to change though. I dont think a person should ever go back to hanging out with old friends who they did drugs with. I also dont think they should hang out at places where they've done drugs out. Even if it requires moving into a new house I think its worth it and its the best way to go.

I dont think proposition 5 should've been passed. People who do do drugs and deal them could abuse this greatly. They'll think that they could do all they want and if they get caught it wont matter because all they'll end up having to do is go to a nice treatment center for a little while, then they can go back and do it all over again. I agree more criminals will be out in the streets. I think they should make this prop better. Like include jail time for the offensers and then after they have to complete a treatment program as well. That way this prop will be much more affective and at the same time keep the criminals off the streets and prevent them from ever coming back to their criminal activities.

I've noticed that setting goals with a specific time, and writing them down also keeping it somewhere where your going to see it everyday. Like maybe in your car or in your wallet. It reminds you of it and keeps you optimistic. And encourages you to succeed.

I think with heroin you cant just stop, you're going to have to get methadone perscribed and be monitored while you take it so you dont get an addiction to that too. Heroin addiction is a tough one to beat. I totally believe you could do it but your going to need a lot of support!

Many people do end up getting addicted to methadone after recovery so be really careful with that. Have you joined a support group anything of that sort?

Do you think she would confide in you if she did start stripping? I know I have a best friend who I trust completely but there's somethings I just cant tell him. I know he would think of me differently.  I think you should be there for her but not encourage her. Be there when she needs you but try to talk her out of it as much as possible. She's going to regret it big time if she starts doing that.

I heard this story not too long ago. I guy who lived in New York drove down to Canada to buy "religious" items. When he was crossing the border police saw about hundreds of vials of holy water. Further questioning led tem to be suspicious and he was reffered to a secondary inspection. A narcotics dog wasn't fooled and he sniffed out 42 of the vials. After being sent to the lab it turns out these 42 vials were a date rape drug called liquid ketamine. This just shows what extraordinary methods people use to smuggle drugs.

Police arrested two men on Tuesday after finding more than 32 pounsd of marijuana inside a home in the city. One was 31, the other 25. Police smelt a strong odor of marijuana and got a search warrant and arrested them. They found 32.8 pounds of processed marijuana, a half an ounce of cocaine, scales and packaging for sales purposes.
I don’t get how some people can get themselves so caught up. If they are going to do something as dangerous as dealing and risk getting caught and into a lot of trouble they should atleast do it the right way! But storing 32 pounds of mairjuana did they really expect no one to smell it?
