Marge went home yesterday. She wasn't invested at all in her rehab and as soon as she realized what and where she had put herself she immediately wanted out and back to LA to see her BF-the guy she does drugs with. Marge paid little attention to me or anything here other than her cell phone, paid little attention when we were discussing PREHAB, and basically showed me that she isn't prepared to do the difficult work that is a solid rehabilitation. She could not identify a viable dream of hers. She admitted that the "program" she is in (working toward a certificate as a medical assistant) is what others want for her and is not what she necessarily wants. We discussed her lack of investment (emotionally) in such a program, but I'm afraid my suggestions to her went in one ear and out the other. Since she indicated that she wasn't happy here (and she had no money), I put her on a bus for home yesterday. Her 5 day stay here did provide her a safe semi-detox, but this 32 yr old woman is a long way from hurting herself and those around her. I was pretty hard on her on the way to the bus station, explaining that few addicts realize the pain they put others around them through and how selfish addiction was, but again, I doubt that she was listening to anything other than her phone. In the 5 days she was here she never smiled, not once, and never partook of her beautiful surroundings. She is stuck firmly within herself. I wished her the best of luck, told her she was always welcomed back, and gave her a few bucks to spend along with her ticket. I hope Marge can ride out her vices until she can figure out what will make her happy in this world besides a quick fix. As soon as she figures out her dream, she'll be able to conquer her addictions.

"Joe" returned to England and has convinced a very well known British BadBoy rocker to come to me for rehab. Unfortunately, my upcoming surgery will prevent me from seeing/working with anyone at my home from this point forth through, at least, August. I was an "A" level tennis player and want my shoulder repaired correctly as I plan to win the USTA 80's someday. Also, since I received only one response to my question as to rather anyone is actually reading this blog, I will be closing this down for the duration of my surgery and recovery. It is possible that I will take on clients again in the fall, but right now I intend to spend next year rehabbing my body and trying to sell some of my existing works. I will also try to find a new publisher for PREHAB as I am now absolutely convinced of it's ability to help save lives. I want to thank those of you who may be attentive readers to this blog and assure you that my adventures are hardly over, just on hiatus.

See you all in the Fall.
