Had a great meeting, tonight. It was on gratitude. 20 year old lady who said she had nothing to be grateful for because she only had 40 days clean. She talked about her 9 felonies and 4 misdemeanors. Then she went on to talk about her $600 to $800 crack habit. I am sitting there thinking she shot up my whole month salary in her arm. 18 year old boy came in late talking about how ezctasy hasn't bothered him but the court said he should attend the meeting to get his paper signed. Married couple talked about their baby having a meth habit when it was born because mom shot up during the pregnancy. The twenty year old did admit that it was nice not to have to wake up in jail every few days. I just smiled when one member thought that 40 days clean really was a lot after all that he has had to endure with drug court and is so close to having a year clean. 46 year old lady was trying to help the 20 year old out by telling her that she had first started shooting up when she was 14 and if the 20 year old lady kept on that she would wake up like wondering what had happened to over half of her life. It really gave me some gratitude that I could be there to witness some of the insanity.

2. having to go out all the time...
3. meaningless relationships to get over my ex...

5. procrastinating...
