Continuation of my Life story…

So let’s see, we left off where I started partying more and more, and I don’t think I mentioned the fact that I started drinking around the age of 12ish on the weekends mostly and by the age of 14 or 15 it was starting to escalate. I was still playing sports until I was like 17ish, and at that point it became a problem. I began doing more and more drugs, mainly cocaine at this point as well. At first it was fun, we would have house parties where local bands would play and we would “rock out” all night. At the time it seemed like no big deal, so many people were doing the same thing and we were all having a ball, so it seemed. Then my mom got sick, deathly sick! She was rushed to the hospital with pains in her stomach and if you knew my mom, she wasn’t going to the hospital for gas pains or anything like that, so we knew if she was saying call 911 and going to the hospital, it was serious! Well, it was even more serious than we thought and my mom had to have immediate surgery on her intestines and stomach. She was “touch and go” there for a while. I guess it would be important to tell you that my mom was my world! She was a single mom ever since I was 3 and my sister was 5, and she always made sure we had everything we ever needed. She always made sure we knew she loved us, and made it very clear that family always stuck together through thick and thin no matter what! To be continued…
