You are making your mom quite proud.  Going to AA meetings and counseling will go along way towards making you are mentally healthier person.  Then, to top it all off, you’ve signed up for a couple of classes!

Yes, I’m very proud of you.

Then, you tell me that you have given up the friends who only want to party.  You’re not interested in living that lifestyle anymore.  I know that some of your so-called friends have been upset by your decision, but I hope you also realize that real friends stick by you no matter what.

You are growing, maturing and becoming the young woman I always knew you could be.

Yes, you make me proud.  And, you should be proud as well.

love, mom
