Word....
Veronica and I will be in Coldwater for a little while tomorrow (well...today). We have court....kind of. I guess our lawyer just has to talk to 'the enemy' and we just have to sign some papers. We should be out of there pretty quickly. My lawyer thinks that he may be able to get our case dismissed because of an illegal search and seizure (which it TOTALLY was). We'll see what happens. I just want it all to be over with already. Just my luck though. We drive over 2,000 miles - from San Francisco to Coldwater - and we get pulled over the very second we pull into C-Dub. Isn't that just the way?
Anyway, as far as I go:
My family now knows everything.....that I have a girlfriend, a definite drug problem, and everything else inbetween. It's as though the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders. It's such a relief....particularly because they're all being so supportive (which is nice considering many of my friends haven't been). It seems as though a lot of people think it's easier to just turn your back on someone than stand beside them. It's sad. Sometimes all I need from others is support. The last thing I need is judgment. The bright side to all of this, of course, is that I really found out who my true friends are.
Things are looking up though. I'm very much in love with a woman I hope to spend the rest of my life with. I'm going to a psychiatrist and have been prescribed Suboxone (it completely stops my withdrawal symptoms and even suppresses cravings). Also, Suboxone is much easier to get off of than Methadone. That's good news because I eventually plan on being completely clean and sober. Well.....not completely. I don't think I'll ever be able to abandon my Pabst Blue Ribbon. We have a bond that cannot be broken :)
So...that's a brief update of what's going on with me. I really hope to hear from some of you soon. I miss you guys.
