My elder brother died from a cocaine induced heart attack. Still, he didn’t use a fraction of the amount I used. I knew I was going to die if I didn’t. I went to a twelve step fellowship and thought the people were strange. I stopped for a few weeks. They talked about GOD... I didn’t listen to what they said. My problems were so much deeper than theirs. They didn’t understand. I started again. That's when my wife filed for divorce.I knew I had to stop. I wanted to stop. I had tried to stop but I could not. My boss told me he had to let me go from the job, so I went to C.A. and I knew I had found home. I got a sponsor I worked through the steps with him. I have been clean and sober since. I thank God for C.A. every day. I have the old job back. I am still married. I have a wonderful relationship with my kids today.

Narrative is determined not by a desire to narrate
but by a desire to exchange. (Roland Barthes, S/Z)
