Hey Lana, This is Cindy. I just wanted to check in with you and let you know that you have been in my prayers for months now. I am so glad you are doing so well. You look as beautiful as ever!! Keep up all the hard work and know that you are loved by many!!
Coming from a stranger it probebly means nothing. But Good Job!! you rock, this is not an easy deal and it takes hard work. You are a great example of success, keep it up and your family is great to be so strong for and with you. God Bless you.
I just saw you on a rerun of Intervention...I know it's been a long time but I wanted to encourage you and I am genuinely going to say a prayer for you tonight. As someone who knows a little about painful pasts, I know that it creeps up and haunts you sometimes but I hope that "winter" seasons past quick and that your life is filled with lots of "summer" seasons. You're such a beautiful girl, inside and out, and I hope that things are going well for you.
Jus got done watching your episode on intervention. I watch the show alot an your story is the only one that touched me an had me in tears. I have soo many similiarities with you. I started on oxycotins thru a boyfriend, switched to heroin, got clean off that an than turned into an alcoholic. I went back to heroin though. I am currently on methadone now, but i have been so scared to detox off it, but your story jus gave me the hope to tell my program to start my detox. Thank you soo much for your courage, because without your story, i would not have been given the hope to detox. Thank you an congrats:)
I wanted to let you know how your story truly touched me. the closeness you share with your family, and how you allowed that closeness to be your power to over come your addiction.
Not two weeks ago, I was at a party, (pre drank at home), and went out and had only 2 drinks. by the second drink, i don't remember anything. 2 days later i still felt as if i were experiencing the worst hangover, and had a large bruise above my eye and up the side of my brow and head. My dad took me to the hospital only to find out i would be placed on IV's and find traces of methadone in my system. I was totally shocked. I had been drugged. thankfully though. i was able to ask friends and family what happened as they were also with me. My brother happened to be at the bar i apparently wandered off to and he sent me home safely in a cab. I haven't had a drink outside of home since.. not that i suffer or had suffered from an addiction, but that i've set that limitation for myself due to the scare. i do not drink every day, or excessively, but enjoy a beverage or a series of, responsibly at special occasions or gatherings. When i watched your episode, it hit me... that could have happened to me, and i don't even put myself in the position often or at all. I was so happy to see the same closeness you share with your brother as i do mine. they really are the ones to make the difference sometimes; and mines 3 years younger! I really hope that this message brings light to your day, and a boost of confidence to you yourself, as i feel it was lacking when you were ill. i only wish i could have said to you in the middle of the intervention myself, when it seemed you were annoyed with hearing "accept this gift, your hurting everyone, you can't do this on your own," i wish you could also hear, "your will power can work, so long as you accept the help and put all these life lessons to use. offering tools as a gift and showing you and open door to them, does not take away from your ability to walk through that door with your head held high with an open mind to the bright future ahead." remember, don't be afraid of being in the dark, when you only have the moon and stars ahead.
so happy for you and your sobriety. keep up your excellent work. you're beautiful, and you have a wonderful family. Your nieces and nephews will look up to you, and i hope for everything good you have to offer. i feel alcohol, although not as harmful as other addictive drugs, can be equally or even harder to overcome only because it's legal, and everywhere for people to enjoy. and thats the biggest problem, it's viewed as enjoyed. i can only hope people around the world can change that horrible phrase of "enjoyed", aka. black out, daily drunk, the the real word "enjoyed", time spent with close friends and family, in a healthy environment much like wine with dinner, or a cocktail on the dock.
i truly hope you have a chance to read this message and know that your story touched a total stranger, and that you have the ability to touch others.
Im proud of you and Im all for people getting sober. Congratulations. I thought it should be pointed out however that the silly c*nt with eyes as big as a house at 30 seconds into your episode was clearly on a HIGH DOSE oh stimulants. I didnt watch anymore of the episode because I was so infuriated that this bitch had the NERVE to get on national tv and condescendingly warn about the nature of drugs while HIGH AS A KITE. Im an ex Meth user myself, and I can tell you. Shes high. Ive met alot of tweakers in my day, but she needs to be outed for how sickingly hypocritical she is. GOD DAMNIT it pisses me off. that is all. Ill make sure she gets called out on it if you do not choose to do so.
After watching the full episode and seeing what you had went through prior to your intervention. I'd like to sincerely apologize for my previous comment. I showed no control, although my stance on "Angela" still stands. I still have a deeply rooted hatred for her brazen hypocrisy. But you did not deserve the negative attention I gave your blog with my previous comment. Again, I'd hope for forgiveness on your end and hope I didn't cause any sort of stress, it appears you deserve no more in life. I'm sorry and congratulations on your chip and thank you for your wonderful story.
Here's the most recent update I could find-- for those who are wondering--- On November 19, 2011 Lana Rose Nelson, 28, 784 S. River Road, St. George, was arrested on charges of possession of heroin and possession of paraphernalia. Nelson was booked into Purgatory Correctional Facility on $5,587 bail.

She was arrested again 2/23/2013 in Washington County, Utah. Barely looks like herself anymore. http://utah.arrests.org/Arrests/Lana_Nelson_11745164/
