She stays busy to help avoid a relapse

Jana Travis has two daughters and six grandchildren.

“I paint. I garden. I work for a couple of elderly ladies down the street. Whatever they need done, I go do. The other day, I put a new screen in their door.

“I just try to stay busy. Like they say, idle time is the devil’s time. You know, keep yourself busy or you might relapse.

“That’s something I learned when I was giving up drinking. It’s been about 15 years since I quit. I finally realized that I had to stop. It wasn’t any good for me. I was staying in trouble the whole time. I don’t get in trouble anymore. I keep myself busy and I’m enjoying life more. And I remember more things now. A lot more.”
