After 5 years of struggling with addiction in the downtown eastside, Darlene has stayed clean and sober since December 17th, 2009 (the night of the Street Sister's fundraiser) and has moved home to Burns Lake to be with her three young children. Darlene says she is "so overwhelmed at how I feel each day from the moment i open my eyes to closing them at night... I still find myself waking up in the middle of the night just to check on my babies and to make sure that this isn't a dream …" She says she is doing extremely well, that her children are content and that she is receiving lots of support from the community. She also expressed her gratitude to her sisters, the Facilitators and the film crew who "believed in me enough to not give-up on me and stuck beside me through thick and thin... no matter how dfficult i may have been. I feel sooooo lucky to have friends like you... I couldnt ask for anymore – your positive feedback, quotes, outbursts & even swearing at me did me wonders."
