Running Into Old Friends at an Inpatient Rehab Program?

Question by that Kid: Running into old friends at an Inpatient Rehab program?
Weird situation: I have a friend who is mandated by court to attend an inpatient rehab program for a variety of reasons. We are very supportive and he will be attending shortly, except he’s been worried because he just found out for a fact that an old “friend” who is also a drug abuser, will be present at the same place. They have some kind of bad history between them. I want my friend to be successful w/o unecessary obstacles, any suggestions?!?

Child Support in California Under the Table Jobs?

Question by *: child support in California under the table jobs?
In a California child support situation where the mother has custody and the father is to pay child support but works under the table….how does that work? He could claim he is older, sick/hurt, out of work because of the economy, and is not working. In this case I know he is and spends his money drinking, doing meth, and setting up drug deals for extra cash. Is the system so broke that he will get away with not taking care of his responsibilities?
Thanks for the advice…

What Do You Think of This Quote?

Question by Claire K: What do you think of this quote?
I was reading a book about a woman who overcame drug addiction. It is a very old and odd ball book but I found it in an old bookstore. This quote struck me. What do you think of it?

“For three years, I swam in thick, gooey molasses which was sometimes warm and sometimes freezing. Sometimes very dark as well. I was quickly pulled out twice, but then slipped and fell in again. I am coming out again, this time, on my own.”

Second Marijuana Offense in Maryland?

Question by : Second Marijuana Offense in Maryland?
In June of 2008 I was pulled over and my car was searched and marijuana was found. I never received a court date. In November of 2008 I received a DUI with possession of marijuana. For that I was sentenced to 30 days in jail and 2 years of supervised probation. It is now May 2009 and I have just received a court summons for possession in June 2008. Since my DUI I have completed a 26-week drug and alcohol abuse program and have never had a dirty urinalysis for my probation officer. Since this is my second offense, yet I have completed a drug and alcohol abuse program and abstained from drug use for probation, what do you think the outcome of my trial will be?
I know I am guilty and will most likely plead guilty, but what could my sentence be?
My first offense was for 1.5 grams and my second is for .5 grams.

IS THis a Relapse?

Question by Marty N: IS THis a Relapse?
This person has had (I would think) a drinking problem/alcoholic. Been to jail for dui, been on several month long drunks. Had to go to the hospital and get detoxed.
Now she says Bill Wilson is bullshit. The entire modern theologhy of “alcoholic” is not correct. She has had total success with drinking for a month. 3-4 drink limits, no problems. IS she right and found a way, or is this a relapse?
P.S. in the past one drink put her on a serious drunk.
This controlled drining started AFTER all the detox, legal problems, very intense non-partial study of AA and the like minded. And AFTER no drinking for 8-months. It seems as though she has turned it around. A thing in my opinion according to AA is not possible. I have talke to her in much detail about this. Everything I am witnessing is proving that she may have done the impossible. This chick was a true alcoholic as defined by AA according to me.
