P Val has gotten how many chances??

This probably isn't about whether she rides again but whether she beats this and saves her life .....
I'm with you on this one, doc, and a very good point about PVal. For those who have no sympathy....well, that's your prerogative. Like doc has no doubt seen, I've also seen the ravages drug addiction wreaks. You throw someone away when they have this problem, or, if they're sincere in their desire for recovery, you forgive. No one said second chances don't have to be earned.

As to whether she ever lost her license, this quote from the article I linked above:
"Former jockey Greta Kuntzweiler, sentenced Friday to five years' probation after being convicted in Jefferson Circuit Court on methamphetamine-related charges, said she hopes to regain her racing license and ride again some day."

I mean't to put this out there yesterday but unfortunately ran out of time. If there is anyone in our "little" family here who needs help along these lines I am more than willing to point anyone in need toward the proper resources toward beginning a change of life that CAN be both life changing and life saving.....Send me a confidential private message and I will help in any way I can. A life saved from the ravages of this disease often affects the quality of relationships in entire generations of family.

All inquires are held in the strictest confidence without judgement on any level however working a program that enhances a true recovery is up to the individual.

i may be wrong, but personally i never thought this should be called a 'disease'. cancer is a disease. you choose to use drugs, yet who chooses to get cancer?
