GASTON COUNTY, N.C. (WBTV) - Hugs, smiles and applause filled a Gaston County courtroom as Julie Frye celebrated not only 431 days of sobriety, but also her completion of the Gaston County Recovery Court program. “Today’s awesome,” Frye said. “It couldn’t have gotten any better. I’m super ecstatic. Like, I’ve never smiled this hard or smiled at all.” Those non-smiles are documented in several of Frye’s mugshots on file at the Gaston County Jail. She said she battled addiction for several years.
