BACK

Go-Go,  Go To God

I grew up in an alcoholic home.  Dad left mom and us five kids (one with fetal alcohol syndrome)  when I was two.  We survived on welfare.  By sixteen I started branching out a little and found a crowd that I fit in with.  There I was introduced to booze and other substances.  By eighteen I was out of my shell.  I was sick of mom and her disease, so I went out on my own.  After a few petty jobs I was introduced to Go-Go dancing.  I had arrived.  I got paid to party ~ dance, drink and be merry.  It was great money too.  Life was grand for about eight years, then King alcohol started taking its toll.  I got high to dance and had to dance to get high.  It was a vicious cycle.  Finally I found myself in the dressing room drunk off my ass and smoking crack.   One day I met a guy at the bar who looked like the kind I was always attracted to.  Long hair leather jacket.  But as it turned out he was straight.  He got me out of the hell I was in and showed me a new way of living.  Although we are not together today I know he was sent by God to save me (an Angel if you will.)  Today I am happily married with a sixteen year old healthy daughter.  My  husband and I are sober members of AA.  Thanks be to God we have a simple yet beautiful life together. 


I came to AA a broken down soul
With pain and fear so real

I came to AA with a big empty hole
With no ability to deal

I came to AA where I was told
Keep coming back my dear

I come to AA where God's love and grace
Truly has the power to heal
