Wow, last time I wrote was in 2011. Much has gone on, I do not even know where to begin.
It is now November 11, 2013...that is 2 years of my life that have been like living a nightmare.
Just to give an update of what has happened...
Alexa was in jail, from there went to Creedmore Rehab in Queens...30 days. Then came home went to out patient at Seafield...that didn't last. My memory doesn't really recollect
everything...but she ended up in a sober house in Mastic for 6 months, and Outreach outpatient program and the drug diversion program. She did well.
she completed everything. She moved back home and graduated both from the drug diversion program June 2012 and outreach...Then, she relapsed along with others that had also graduated from the program, and had also lived in the sober house with her.
She was on the streets for about a week...have a picture of her where she looks like she was beat up, but she swears she fell...I will never know. She ended up pawning a ring from a friend of hers, whose house she was staying at. She swears she didn't steal the ring. Somehow I do believe that story...there are many I do not believe, but she got in trouble for that. The woman pressed charges..
Alexa went to rehab for 30 days out in Utah..Recovery Ways. I believe she had some great experiences, but unfortunately this was for only 30 days too.
When she arrived home,from rehab in Utah, out patient rehab was set up with Seafield, 2 days later September 7, 2012, the detectives came to the door and arrested her for pawning the stolen ring. Back to court she goes. Fortunately or unfortunately, the drug diversion program had been completed. If it had not she would have been in jail for a time. We went to court once a month for a year. During the course of the year...
For awhile she went to rehab, felt she didn't need it, so stopped going. Got a job, lost a job...went there on drugs...got another job didn't like it, got another job, didn't like that one either... went to a psychiatrist, got told she was bi-polar...I do not know if I believe that, many different meds tried...
Court ordered her to do 70 hours of community service...that is where she met a new drug dealer!! Finally court ended...I believe they extend the time so they will stay clean.
Her last day of court and she went there using, September 2013...We were going to Tennessee after court, she was suppose to help drive.
I drove there...the help I got was the last 2 hours. It was a nice visit with my sister and her family, but Alexa was detoxing...go figure. Why not ruin something good in your life.
We get back, she is starting a job!! A decent job.. A Ford dealership in Smithtown....thats when it went from bad to worse...she couldn't account for her paychecks...so where do you think the money was going...DRUGS...of course.
Also somewhere along the course of the year in the summer time 2013, she had become friendly with an older neighbor..Joan...who has her own issues...I know they drank together, probably popped some pills together too...I had it out with Joan...how dare she...she is a mother herself...You cannot trust anyone!!
October 20, 2013, Alexa overdosed...My neighbor Josephine came over, we called 911. She was brought to Stony Brook Hospital.--9pm and discharged at 7:20AM!! Nothing!! No talking to me, she is 23, no psych eval...no holding for 24 hours...out.
I went and got her, she insisted on going to work. I drove her there. They told her to go home. She rested the rest of the day. She went to work the rest of the week.
There was a bowling night 11/2/2013, with the work people...she went...I picked her up. She had been drinking. At least she had the brains to not drive. She went to work till Thursday 11/7/13, when she got fired.
