Julie.
I was a Sign Language Interpreter for several years. My last job was with a woman named Julie. She was in IOP and I was interpreting for her during that. She had some AMAZING recovery! She was getting it! She became my friend after only a few months of working with her.
June 17, 2010 she died. I was absolutely crushed. I am not sure what caused her to go over the center line. I have heard many stories, but not anything official. she was high or texting or exhausted. Either way, she crossed the center line, realized it, tried to correct it, but was hit broadside by a huge semi-truck. She was hurt pretty bad and died 5 hours later.
It wasn't until September that I quit using to begin with. But, it was Julie's death that shook my world, leading me to realize/admit I was an addict.
