When my father died, I watched my mom slip further and further into depression until it seemed like there was nothing anybody could do to get her out of it. They had been married for thirty-five years and suddenly a fatal heart attack dictated that she had to figure out a new way to spend her life. We offered to let her stay with one of us so she...

Everyone has a story to tell that usually consists of a beginning, a middle, and an end. Each part fits together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that allows us to step back and see the whole picture. Certain parts cannot be understood without careful reflection on the other parts. We are all story-telling creatures by nature. We relate to each...
I started drinking when I was 13. My father had walked out on my mother when I was 11 and I haven't seen him since. This put my mother and me on shaky ground and forced me to confront issues that no adolescent should have to. I began drinking because I thought grown-up problems deserved grown-up escapes and drinking filled that void perfectly....
Alcoholism is one of the hardest addictions to identify. There is no arch-type or quintessential personality prone to the disease; it affects people of all different backgrounds. An alcoholic will very often go to the ends of the earth to hide their addiction to avoid embarrassment, outside involvement or having to actually confront the problem....
I was at the point where a comeback seemed impossible; forty years old, divorced, watching the hands on the clock pass, waiting to die. It seemed like I had to start over, even after working so hard to get where I was. I had been the breadwinner, caretaker, mother, father, counselor, chauffeur and everything else, in my family, and it had all been...

People tell me I look a lot like "Snooki" from "The Jersey Shore" reality TV show and I admit that I use to watch it every day. My problem with alcohol really started after I had graduated from Monmouth College in NJ and was ready to find a job. I applied for a ton of jobs in all different fields, and nobody seemed to be hiring. I even...
Never judge a book by its cover. For two years I was abusing cocaine and nobody knew about it--not my friends, not my parents, nobody. Ever since I was a younger, I'd always had this need to shake things up in my life. I grew up with everything I'd ever wanted and had the idyllic home-life, but something inside of me still felt like my life was boring...
When I was 15 years old, I started modeling for magazines. It was the most incredible experience of my life. I got to travel a lot and had everything I could ever want and more. Back home, I had two amazing and loving parents that did the best they could to keep me grounded and focused on what was important. If they could have traveled with me all the...
Ever since I could remember, my son has had severe behavioral problems. My late husband and I always gave him everything he wanted, and did our best to make sure he had plenty of love and guidance. When he was sixteen, he snuck out of the house, stole my car and was in a near-fatal crash that resulted in severe brain damage. Now, at nineteen years old,...
My mother use to always say, "There but for the grace of God go I". Today my own variation on that saying is "There but for my residential alcohol treatment for women go I". Because I was feeling very trouble and even suicidal before they helped me. If my claim seems dramatic, let me tell you a little bit about how I started drinking and developed my...
I can't exactly remember the incident that got me into my local hospital's ER. I know it was Thanksgiving night, and I had come to my aunt's house with my mother and my sister earlier that afternoon to join family members for the big dinner. For some reason holidays always make me particularly anxious. I don't really have bad memories of anything...
