Good News

In Court today, for the felony charge from a year ago, J received "Treatment in Lieu of Conviction".  He will have 14 days in Rehab for an assessment, then out-patient treatment, which I believe consists of a couple of months of intensive treatment...3 x week...3 hours per day...random drug screens...follow-up treatment that lasts another 9 months.  The attorney that represented him, who has been doing this for 30 years, has never had this situation before, two felonies in two different counties at approximately the same time, and both of them granting "Treatment in Lieu of Conviction". 

I have been praying every day for J, along with about 40 other people, including many of you, and believe that, not only were my prayers answered, but J is one lucky guy!  He'll have to also serve 20 days in rehab for the DUI in May.  He's not sure how this will affect his job, but he is grateful for the outcome.  Since I started my training for the Census Bureau, his step-dad took him today.

His girlfriend is on Suboxone and seems to be on the right track also.  She's still in college part-time and picks him up from work occasionally.  J's work hours changed from 4pm-4am....to....2pm-1am....so my husband went to get him last night and asked why one of the guys at work, who lives near here can't drive him.  J said that the guy smokes pot at work (outside), so he doesn't want to drive with him.  Good thinking!!

Much to be thankful for in our home!!

Much peace, love and joy to everyone!
