Topic: The Club House / Prison or reform

As a female former inmate, and drug abuser, I took years to realize what kind of person I was after my kids (ages 4 and 7) just asked to "get their “old” mommy back" This broke my heart…AND my stubbornness.
Many will choose prison over rehab, maybe because it doesn’t require effort? perhaps the lifestyle of being incarcerated is familiar and comfortable, yes, there may be a smaller number who want help, but we should be focused on education and letting them know that there are so many rewards in getting clean.
Asking friends or family members to help out who have experienced rehab can be rewarding as well.
