"Just as drinking pervades our culture, it diffused into my personality. I grew into my abuse, like the occasional tree you can find on a nature walk, its roots spilling over both sides of a boulder like outspread fingers, in spite of the rock's lack of soil, moisture, and stability. To see it only at the height of its maturity is to wonder: Why build on that?" ~ Koren Zailckas, Smashed

This blog is one of my many recovery efforts to uproot my damaged foundation and cultivate the right conditions for blossoming.

    I hate this disease. I know it took her. Maybe her death will scare someone(s) sober...we can pray. God bless her daughter and family :(

    I'm takiing this one hard too. Such a beautiful voice and such a presence poof! gone. Hideous disease. And whether or not she getting high at the time, she was probably heavily compromised by drug use and the body just gave out...so awful.
