This is it, hopefully get the charges dropped. I've been shoplifting since I was a kid, not even entirely sure when it got out of hand. When the line disappeared that it was 'wrong'... Tho all my lines are a blur. It actually came as a blessing in disguise I suppose. Very fortunate where I live we have a program that works with first time offenders if they are approved into the program (I was rushed into the program) and you work with a lot of mental health professionals. They recognize most people who are I. Trouble with the law have a story line to go along with it. Mine was a long history of abuse that I didn't feel had any impact on any of my 'bad' decisions. I guess I am learning. I am just three sessions now into working with a trauma therapist. They had to make sure my addictions where at least on the mend (4 years clean of hard drugs, 48 days no alcohol, 54 days no shoplifting- SI and binge/purge still present but that's complaints for another forum!).

Anyways, don't know the point of all this. Just... Guess I'm glad to put this behind me, I am so early at court...
