THE BIG BOOK, THE TWELVE AND TWELVE, AND AA COMES OF AGE

DANCING, WATCHING SPORTS, AND SHOPPING






My name is Donna and I am grateful to be alive and sober. I read once that a MIRACLE is an UNEXPLAINABLE ACT OF GOD and the fact that I've been sober for a few years is a miracle, because I can't keep me sober only God can. I was born and raised in South Philly where I resided with my dad, because my mom left when I was about 1 1/2. I spent most of my time with my dad or his parents. by the age of six or seven my grandfather began sexually abusing me and it was also around this time when I began drinking cough syrup. I spent one day a week with my alcoholic pill popping mother and she didn't even know I existed when I was there so it became easier for me to hate her than to continue to feel unwanted and unloved. My mother does have two other daughters with whom I wasn't raised with, but I did see on holidays. My father was the only stable person in my life,he was caring, loving, and nurturing. All we had was each other, because my father never remarried nor did he ever allow another woman to become a part of our lives. I am grateful that one of my parents was able to put my needs above their own. I entered my first relationship at the age of 14, with go figure a drug-dealer. He never wanted me to try drugs and kept away from them, but of course I became curious and experimented with weed. I fell in love immediately with that feeling of not feeling. I no longer cared about what others thought of me, nor did I feel awkward around others I now fell apart of life. It didn't take long before I graduated to Benzo's and Cocaine. By sixteen I was drinking and drugging all weekend and sometimes during the week. By the time I was eighteen, I became a daily cocaine user at which point my life began spiraling downhill, but I couldn't see it. At 23, I attempted suicide and found myself in my first rehab, where I learned a lot about alcoholism and was introduced to AA. I didn't stay sober, in fact I was out celebrating my first night out. For the next six years, my addiction continually got worse, then in 1999 I began smoking crack, which is where things got bad and got bad fast. I stole from anybody I could and found myself in places I never imagined I would be. My father continually tried to help me, but I did not want to let go of the love of my life "Crack". From 2000 until 2004 I did the rehab tour, winding up in 18 rehabs. Finally, May 14, 2004 God saw fit to relieve me of my Alcoholism, because I was willing to go to any lengths to stay sober. Homelessness was a bottom that I never expected, but I am so grateful for it today, because I truly believe that God gave me what I needed to become willing. God put the right woman in my life, who took me through the steps of AA and helped learn how to live life on God's terms. I am blessed to sponsor other woman and be able to watch them grow in this program. I am so grateful to God and AA for showing me how to live, instead of merely existing.

I know exactly what you're talking about with the feelings, that's how I felt when I got my rights back....I flipped out!  I was dancing around and crying at the same time!  It was wonderful lol!  I haven't even thought about halloween yet, because it's still 88 degrees here in Florida, and very humid...  But last night when I went to my meeting at the church, they had all the pumpkins out and I got excited.  This truly is my favorite time of year!  I loooove football too, and my team are the Dolphins...yea I know they've sucked lately, but they've won the last 2 games so we'll see.  Philly is a good team, and I like the coach he used to coach greenbay right??  Anyway I'm doing good for the most part, just stressing a little right now financially... They are talking cutbacks where I work and it's a little scary, actually it's alot scary.  The economy is so f....ed up right now.  They say Florida was feeling the pinch a year before the rest of the country, and I believe it...  Anyway I could ramble forever but a pregnant nun sounds too cool!!!  I love it lol!!!  xoxoxo
