[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 490174, member: 1550"] Thanks all. I *am* proud, but mostly she did it herself. She decided to get off the drugs and start over, get a rotten job at Subway, then go back to school, etc. etc. Would love to take the credit. I can't. It goes along with "They have to decide they want to quit and then do it." If you saw her ten years ago you would have seen an emaciated girl with "hyper" eyes (if that makes sense) who had terrible skin (meth messes with your skin...she still has marks from the acne and nothing so far has helped get rid of them). Now she looks so healthy, it makes me warm inside. But...no credit goes to anyone but her. I think Geoff has been good for her too. They have now been together for eight years. Julie tells me that when she finds her ex="friends" on Facebook, every single one of them, save for one other female, are either in jail or getting out of jail and they are all on drugs to this day. I think it was a good thing that she decided to go to another state and start over (although we miss her). We think of possibly moving closer to Illinois after Jumper graduates from high school. Thanks to all for looking and moreso for caring. I know some of you, although it may seem impossible now, will see the same sort of success with your kids. [/QUOTE]
