16. Oh my gosh...this is so sad. I almost can't believe this. She was doing incredibly well. What I want to know is what was going on in her life that made her go back to drugs after years and years of sobriety?

22. Oh yea--she's been about as clean as my barefeet after I have been working in the garden beds all day.
She says she's clean, but those eyes have always look fried to me. Some people just never change.
I thought she had a son? how old is he? Who will be responsible for him in IF and when she goes to the pokey?
Valerie did the weight loss ads...Is there a drug use cessation program Mac can do an ad for and not fall off the wagon???
just wondering!!

23. That's just sad. Too bad she couldn't keep straight. Those kind of drugs stay with you for years. All it takes is one hit and you're off the wagon. I guess a little stint in prison will get her straight again, but too bad it had to come to this. I'm sure she will have to do some time for taking it to the airport with her, and not the Hilton or Kardashian time.
