Jobey Miller of Socorro (second from right) was the latest graduate from Socorro County Drug Court Thursday, Nov. 19. With Miller are therapist Athena Gassoumis, who is holding Miller’s daughter Stevie Romero, and Seventh Judicial District Judge Matt Reynolds. The county started the program that gives former substance abusers a new lease on life. Reynolds told Miller during the ceremony: “You have been a model student for everybody who is in drug court.” Miller says she takes it one day at a time. “I feel rich in my heart and I just want to thank everybody for believing in me.”
