Words of wisdom for Noelle? Please no too crude, too rude or too nude
responses!

I would tell her to use what she learned from others about escaping people and places that want to hold and use you. A suggestion only.

1. I would have the Fab Five give her a makeover.
And change her last name--the Bush name is a millstone around her neck.

2. As a recovering person....
I would suggest that she look at the ways she has been enabled in her addiction by her privileged upbringing and how to overcome the sense of entitlement she's been handed. Humility is a necessary part of recovery and it's harder for people that have barriers of pride and the feeling of "I'm different from the rest of you." I wish her all the best, but her real recovery is just beginning in the real world. We'll see how that goes.

3. Run away . I mean it. Get out of Florida.
Pick a place that sounds nice and go there.

4. you will never ever be a casual user
not pot, not beer not nothing. You may do it for a time but eventually you will be right back in hell.

5. I would recommend she attend a support group
Like Narcotics Anonymous or CODA, given the fact her family is a pack of codependents.

6. Find something to contribute to in life and have your life be
about that. When you are down and feeling weak, serve someone else.

7. Cut all ties with all members of your family NOW.
That includes Grannie Barbara.

Call Ron Reagan Jr. and ask him to put you up.

8. Join the French Foreign Legion and go to Africa
But that would assume that she has any freedom from now on.
