My mom, when she cooked it was for six kids even though there was just me.

I was a people pleaser but I never felt it was real.

My brother was a drug addict who got clean and introduced me to concepts of the 12 step programs.

I went to AA because that is all I ever heard of. I got a sponsor who was also in OA and led me there. He was my higher power. He passed away. I left.

Found me way back. My 3rd sponsor help me actually get a relationship with a higher power and got me writing in my big book.
