3rd Degree Felony

[hopinforhappy]

So I have been charged with a 3rd Degree Felony.  Spent the night in jail last week for changing a quantity on a perscription (hmmm anyone THINK I needed help??!!!)  Anyway, went to court this morning to hopefully be appointed a lawyer and apparently me and hubby make too much---whatever......  So, I was a little down about that today cause now I have to go find one myself.  On to the good news.  Today is day 7 clean for me!!  Life is good.  I can't wait to put the charges behind me and be able to really heal.  I have a therepist I will be talking to later today.  I told her I would come in after court so we could talk and she could make sure I was okay.  I am going to talk myself into not getting down today, keep my chin up and move on.  Thanks for everybodys support and love!

So we now have a lawyer.  Now maybe I can get rid of this brewing headache.....

You are on the healing side of all of this, and 7 days are the proof.  Keep positive, and remember that it will get better each day.  Also, maybe your counselor can advise the court that you are clean and hopefully your attorney can get the charges reduced.  Good Luck

Thanks, sometimes you just need to feel support.  I have so much support from my hubby but he has never delt with addiction and it's hard for him to understand.  I am so glad we have this site where there is so much advice and encouragement.  Other than actually having to deal with the court system, only good has come out of this.  I have gotten the help I desperately needed and no longer have to hide....everyone knows.  I never thought that was weighing me down quite so much.  Thanks again!!

It's so scary what we do for more pills. I was doctor shopping recently and am terrified that it will come back to haunt me. I don't want to get in to legal trouble :-(

Congrats on the 7 days....and you yourself said life is good! YAY! I am on day 3 and have been through this before...but it needs to stop. I cannot get myself back in to this mess again. Keep posting your progress and focus on the positive...you have done so much already and be proud of yourself. One day at a time, right....

Hey, just take this negative experience and turn it into a positive one,which it seems like you have already done. Dont be down on yourself, we as addicts, do A LOT of things we normally wont do...

7 days is VERY impressive...Keep up the good work. Believe it or not, some people end up in a hospital before they get their wake up call...so, now, you begin the road to recovery...

We're all here for you..Day 4 for me.
