Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

I'm wondering if I was the only one who caught her admit to Iyanla very early on that she had had a previous problem with pain pills. Anybody???

I was over at the startingover site and looking at "where are they now" I don't see Karen from season 2 posted anywhere.

Did Karen graduate? I don't remember now.

The day Iyania assigned Karen to call five different people and ask them some questions about herself, her older daughter said something about her drug and alcohol abuse. But, when Iyania asked her about it, Karen said she no longer did this. And, later events, Karen's going by herself to a Las Vegas pharmacy and getting pills, then, back at the SO house, taking them with a vodka chaser, proved that she lied to Iyania about no longer having a drug and alcohol problem. And, that Iyania dropped the ball in not keeping a closer eye on Karen. After all, Karen's erratic behavior the whole time she was at the SO house should've been a clue.

Karen left. I believe it was to go to a drug and alcohol treatment program. I hope it all went well for her and she is in a better place and happier with herself in life. Drug and alcohol can ruin a life but it is possible to turn your life around with a rehab program and sticking with it.

I hope we hear an update on Karen. If they say that Tess is welcome to come back into the house at a later date then Karen should certainly be welcome.

Apparently, Karen is out of rehab. Or was, at least. There are two picture of her on Lynnell's website, near the top. In one, she's by herself and, in the other, she's with Lynnell. I emailed Lynnell to be sure this was Karen from the LA SO house. And, she emailed me back that it was. And, that they'd gotten together a few times.
