I Started Using Alcohol At The Age Of Eleven
From Blueberry Boat
I drank six diet cokes and got ready to leave after lunch
Every Monday I drive down to run a session at the teen Challenge for women over 18 center
So I went down to run my session at the Teen Challenge for Women over 18 center in Fort Worth
It was Tifani’s turn to talk: "I started using alcohol
at the age of 11 to gain popularity in the eyes of my peers
and the people I thought were or could be my friends
and to escape noticing the situation in my home-life:
But then I met you know who…
And I felt particular in a particular way"
"That’s wonderful news Tifani
Has anyone here, at one of your lowest low points,
ever heard a voice, which though you couldn’t understand quite what it said,
managed to comfort you somehow?"
"I have", she said.
"What did the voice say?"
"It said this"
