This picture reminds me of what it was like growing up!! I always was the outsider looking in. I always was the outcast that wasn’t really invited but showed up hoping to get asked to join the festivities. I can remember standing at the neighbors fence in my bathing suit watching all the kids swimming & just hoping someone would ask me to join.
Eventually I chose the path of drugs & alcohol because everyone can fit in there. You could have freckles, a crooked smile, be skinny, have a horrible home life & anything else you want to throw in there. You were always accepted.
That path lead me to a life of destruction from alcoholism, drugs & domestic abuse. I was always on the outside looking in just trying to be accepted.
I Live a different life now in 2004. I had to decide if I was going to Live or Die!! My body was at the end from my alcoholism!! I lost my job & had $500 to my name for my son & I. On the morning of 03/09/04 I laid on the floor & told God I was FINISHED with this Insanity & I needed his help immediately!
15 years later I am here to tell you I know longer am peaking through the fence! I am now helping the ones that are!!
