I am a recovering alcoholic. My name is Bill M. I was born and raised in Hawaii. The Leeward side of Oahu. I grew up in a middle class neighborhood. I am the second youngest of 13 children. 12 boys and 1 girl. Both my parents worked hard. They were very strict when it came to boundaries. They had to be I guess with that many children. Along with working hard came what seem to me at a young age was the pleasure of drinking alcohol.

Why not we deserved it!! Along with this came a lot of domestic problems like fights, abuse, and neglect. At times we were left to think and do for ourselves. During my childhood if was difficult being the 2nd youngest. My youngest brother appeared to be the pet of the family so that left me to defend for myself when it came to hand me downs. I basically fought my way through childhood into my teenage years. By the time I was 14 years old I said to myself, "I wasn't going to be like anyone in my family". So I did what I thought was best for me. Well sad to say I ended up a lot worse off than my family.

My name is Regina, I am 31 years old. I have been clean from alcohol and drugs for 7 years now. I have 2 children and a husband. I live in my own home and have 2 vehicles and I have a dog.

When I first started using alcohol I was 11 years old. I found out I was adopted and I started looking for acceptance in whoever and what ever. I started sneaking out of the house late at night to hang out with the people who were drinking.

I started smoking weed at the age of 13. Again, I hung with the people who were accepting me because I could drink alot and smoke alot.

During those few years, I experienced rape twice, foster homes, pregnacy and abortion.
