Who knows why but I guess it has something to do with that old saying "misery loves company". It's a saying for a reason right? As for my situation...postponed. Nothing was resolved and I'll have to go back again but at least I got it over and done with for now. Thanks Screedler

In fact I am due in court on Nov 16 and may have to go back to jail or work release or maybe just another postponement - this has been going on for almost 2 years. And like you I am tired of it hanging over my head and just ready to get it over. I just wanted to say hello and say it helps to know others who are in similar staits as me. Good luck - Screedler Hi Erin,

I am still dealing with the wreakage of my addiction also. In fact I am due in court on Nov 16 and may have to go back to jail or work release or maybe just another postponement – this has been going on for almost 2 years.
