Update on Trish

Hey everyone. Well I just read my last thread. Wow...How accurate I was about feeling something bad was going to happen. But then, when your doind what I was doing, It doesnt take a freakin psychic to figure it out.
Well, I just got home from doing 4 mos in the county jail.
And I am really lucky thats all I got for what I was arrested for. Just 5 days after my last post, I thought it would be a good idea to do a home invasion and armed robbery.
I was arrested for Robbery in the 2nd and displaying a firearm.
No gun was found so they offered a plea of petty larceny and 6 mos.
I was originally looking at 3 to 5 yrs and up to 15yrs.
When I posted that last thread, I was also very messed up on xanax.

The good news is..My sponsor kept in touch with me and I def had alot of time to pnder about my life.
I have never been locked up for more than 30 days here and there before. And 4 mos isnt crap considering the things I have done and gotten away with.

Anyway. I thought about SR alot. Its like 2am and I have alot to do tomorrow.

My boss saw my arrest on the news. Thats how hw found out why I didnt show up for work. But because he is such a wondeful friend. I still have my job. I go back thins week. I have meetings lined up already and have numbers handy and ready to use.
I will be back tomorrow sometime to talk more.

I have alot I want to tell. Thanks for always being here guys.

Oh Trish...I've been thinking of you from time to time.I was a bit worried for you. I think the first post I read an this site was one by you and I kept following your story. I changed my username from littlestranger to Lionne in the meantime.

I'm just really glad that you're safe and that nothing worse happened and nobody else got harmed either. Maybe this experience is what it took to get better for you. I'm also glad to hear that there are people out there irl that support you. I hope you can turn things around. and you have a lot of people here that support you too.
I'm looking forward to read more posts by you, Take care, and all the best,
Lionne

(((Trish))) - I'm SO glad to hear from you. I hate what you've put yourself through, but I'm glad you found your way back to us. You've been on my mind, a LOT, and I just checked your FB, the other day, to see if you were still posting there. I just wanted to know you were still alive.

Welcome home

Love, hugs, and prayers,

Amy

We were wondering and worried about you. Glad you're back. HOpe you can stay on course this time. As you know, there may not be a 'next time' to do better.

Hugely relieved, Trish! It didn't occur to me that's what might have happened. I was thinking you were kicking around the streets putting yourself in all sorts of danger. I'm so happy you will have your job and that your family stood by you. Thank you for letting us know! Brighter days lie ahead.
