I've only had one semi-close friend who was imprisoned for embezzlement when she was trying to fund her addiction. She has served her time, and she has improved. She does not use at all now, and she lives a very happy life. She is finally getting her act together.
During the time she was in, I wrote to her at least once a week to help keep her spirits up and let her know someone cared about her. She had very few friends who would do that for her because of all the bridges she'd burned.
She's very humble and gracious today, and I love seeing her accomplishments as she jumps one hurdle after another.
She is planning to marry the man she met after she'd already served her time. She felt that she had to cut ties with the people she knew and hung out with during the time she was using to be able to successfully work her program.
That's the closest story I have about that....
