We seem to share a lot of personal info here so here goes. Some of you already know that my very lovely, much younger girlfriend/fiance has a bad drug problem. She has been an addict for eight years. It's not really an uncommon thing around here. Sometimes I think it's easier to get heroin and crack then it is to buy a beer. Yes, it's gotten that bad. One of the local blue collar towns here in New Jersey, Williamstown, recently led the nation in deaths by heroin overdose. Personally, I have no interest or use for it. I've seen it take and destroy way too many lives. Anyway, the law has caught up with Chrissie, as it eventually does. She's been in the slammer for the past 2 1/2 months and will remain there until her court ordered long term rehab starts, hopefully soon. She has accepted her fate and is ready to apply herself fully to successfully completing her rehab. It's good to hear her making the right noises. She is really a different person without the drugs. She's been clean since she's been in jail, which isn't a given. They can get dope behind bars if they want it. There is always a way... something I've learned from her. So I will keep the home fires burning and wait for her to successfully complete her rehab and come home to start her new life. I will be alone for a good long while. I intend to remain faithful. Everyone she has ever cared about and trusted has screwed her over majorly, which is a good part of the reason she's an addict. We'll see how that goes. Wish us luck.
