Amy, That is great news and all made possible because you stayed clean. My daughter has about $8000 in medical, credit card and other debts which SHE will pay off. I only hope she can do it with the grace and dignity that you did. Hugs, Marle

To My Dearest Friend,
in the almost 2 years I have known you we have been to hell and back again, and mostly came out on top, to hear your voice yesterday ( and the fact you waited for me to sit down before bubbling forth with your news helpped as well) and the utter disbelief and elation in your spirit made me remember what it was like being in frount of the judge myself ( you know we talked about it)
I am so proud of you, and the maturity from you keeps rubbing off on me ( which I happen to love)........I just wish it was as easy for me as you seem to make it.............lol
I love you sis!!!! Keep smiling you have a reason to do so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love and Hugs

I am so proud of you and I just love when you post things from your heart. I think you set such a wonderful example of what a person can do if they really want to.
I see that happen in courts here with some judges. I think it is wonderful whenthey try and help someone who is helping themselves as much as you have.
You brought tears to my eyes also and I just know your Dad was so excited and happy for you.
I am happy this year seems to be the turning point to ease some pressure on you. WhoooHoooooo!!!! Keep it up.

Amy, you are truly an inspiration. I'm so so glad things worked out so well for you, proof that the world can be a kind of forgiving place, and you obviously deserve the opportunities you have been given. Congratulations on having things back under control and for doing all the hard work to get there. Like I said, you are truly inspiring. A success story if I ever heard one. Hugs to you!

Amy. I'm so proud of you honey. Not everyone gets to comes back from hell. I'm so happy that you made it out. Amazed actually, having been there myself. I don't even know how I made it out and I didn't have quite as far to go.
There but for the grace of God...
Happy things worked out for you. It's amazing how our lives can come back together. For me, it's like, what was I thinking all that time? I think I was scared of being clean. I just didn't think I could handle life without drugs.
I just don't know what I was thinking...

this post was the first in a few days of lurking that gave me so much hope!
my AF has lots of debts and now has to prove to a judge that his rehab has changed him and will hopefully let him get a new job!
thank you for the inspiration!

I am so proud of you for all you have done and I am thrilled that the judge showed compassion and made this all workable. I think your HP was standing beside you in court.

Thanks, SO MUCH, everyone!
It's funny...I guess I should have posted this on the SA forum, but this is the forum full of people who have taught me how to live. Being a codie was severely ruining my serenity, and you all taught me how to get my peace back!
I've written the $1000 check to the insurance company, so owe them $375. I'm not worried about what I owe...I have a job and I know it will be okay. Just feels good to have two major $$ hurdles out of the way!
Thanks again...you can all give YOURSELVES a pat on the back, because I wouldn't be where I am today without your help!
Hugs and prayers!
Amy

How awesome. How powerful the good thoughts are!!!
You rock. And that judge was awesome. I imagine he's heard every excuse in the book about how how it's everyone ELSE'S fault that they are where they are. But, you owned up, took responsibility and kicked butt.
