It has been going well and did get out of that wrong crowd that was a negative influence on me.Knew I had to do it and move on with my life.I went through it all making the wrong choices,one was busted twice for drinking underage at ages 14 and 15.I regret doing these 2 to this day.Luckily I am happily married to a positive influence,my husband Ken whom loves and accepts me for who I am.He went through the same,his was after doing 5 years in prison knowing things had to change in the right direction.
