The Ramblings Of Jenn Shuey

We had dinner with one of Hubby’s old friends tonight, and it was so nice to see him. As with a lot of Hubby’s friends, Hubby fell out of contact with this guy due to a drug situation. Hubby was trying to get clean, and this guy wasn’t. Hubby walked away from that whole crowd and did what he needed to do to become clean and sober.

Years later we’re meeting back up with some of these old friends. This guy in particular is another one that I’m happy to say found his way into drug rehabilitation shortly after Hubby did. He moved away, got a great job, and met someone who changed his life. He’s visiting his hometown for the first time in 5 years, and Hubby was the first person (other than his parents) that he called.

They spent a few minutes talking about the past and how things were back then, but then conversation quickly moved to catching up. It makes me feel good to see how well he’s doing, because I met him at one of the lowest points of his life. His options were to continue following a path that would either find him in jail or dead or to do something about it by going to drug rehab and clean up his life. He made the right decision, and it makes me happy to see what a great life he has created for himself.
