This autobiography is a true story about the life being ignorant to drugs. It will also reveal to my readers how much pain that I still feel in my heart about my parents’ and grandparents’ deaths. I will continue to show people the struggle that I am still going through today is what I went through for thirty years. How I became the worst alcoholic there was. I was also molested in my younger years, which is still, to this day, very painful. I had to almost watch my mother take her last breath and didn’t even realize what was going on. My grandmother was there for us during those very gloomy and rough days. Because it was so hard, sometimes I did not want to live. Parents need to listen to their kids especially when it comes to molestation; sometimes you may have to ask questions. How I had to kiss my mom on her face, forehead, and hands to tell her good-bye, and she didn’t even know that we were there. I made a very bad mistake when I crossed that street, and the little boy snatched his hand away from me and was hit by a car. How I watched him lie there almost lifeless and could not help him. I was with a man that used drugs, and when the relationship crumbled, the drinking became much worse. How rehab really helped me the second time. How, after seventeen years and no drugs, we are back and even happier. How a person using any kind of substance abuse can alter your mind and the decisions that you may make. When I returned home from rehab, you would not imagine where I found beer bottles and cans. How my cousin was almost killed trying to protect me. How I was beat up by the ones who were supposed to protect and serve. How I had started seeing someone and found out that he was a druggie and dropped him as quickly as I picked him up. How to look for signs when they are on drugs. How drugs can sometimes make a person lose everything that they have. How I have never been so embarrassed in my life until the marshal knocked on my door. How you can try and try again to help a person, but it won’t work unless they want help themselves. How some folks do not want help; they are just going through the motions. How my friend, also an addict, jumped off the subway platform in front of a train. How I know from people in general not to get into a relationship when in a rehab; you are really trying to find yourself again, and you honestly don’t know what you want. This is a must; don’t let a man/woman bring you down. How my surgery made me look at life totally different. How when you really need your family, they are going to be there, no matter what time, day or night. How my brothers became the best fathers ever, and that was because of the positivity that they had in their life. My sisters are fabulous mothers as well as myself. How I learned that through it all, God will stand by you at all times. How I lost my mom on November 5, 1979, and then my father followed her on June 22, 1990, and my grandmother followed on June 13, 1998. How my uncle Junior was there for us from the time my mom was sick; until this day, he has never walked away. How it took me years to step into the hospitals that both my parents passed away in. How we went through everyday problems; the difference was that we had no parents growing up. How you really need to treasure your parents while they are here; don’t wait until they are gone to tell them how much you love them. After all, they gave us life. How I raised kids and was a single parent, and they are okay kids. How I still have bad feelings about the men who molested me. How I am living proof that you can have tremendous fun without a drink in your hands. What made me say “This is it.” How I almost died from being the alcoholic that I was. I would tell you, if you haven’t drank or used drugs, you are not missing anything. You would like to make decisions on a sober conscience. Sometimes the decision you make while using drugs may haunt you for life. How I came to reality to realize that my b

Lew Yablonsky's story is about a youth who was involved in various delinquent activities as a teenager, and later in life, after serving in the Navy, went through a dramatic change to become a noted Professor of Criminology. His favorite commentary about his life change on various national TV programs and in news media about his professional life was: "In my early years some of my best friends were criminal sociopaths, and I learned more about crime from them than I learned from acquiring my Ph.D. at NYU." His autobiography details his early years, and how his personal life entwines with the 20 books he has researched and written about crime, drug addiction, and other social issues. The following quote from a review of his first book "The Violent Gang" in the Los Angeles Times describes his writing style "...a powerful and incisive writing in the field of sociology...an important and imensely useful work.

In the 1960s, as illegal drug use grew from a fringe issue to a pervasive public concern, a new industry arose to treat the addiction epidemic. Over the next five decades, the industry's leaders promised to rehabilitate the casualties of the drug culture even as incarceration rates for drug-related offenses climbed. In this history of addiction treatment, Claire D. Clark traces the political shift from the radical communitarianism of the 1960s to the conservatism of the Reagan era, uncovering the forgotten origins of today's recovery movement. Based on extensive interviews with drug-rehabilitation professionals and archival research, The Recovery Revolution locates the history of treatment activists' influence on the development of American drug policy. Synanon, a controversial drug-treatment program launched in California in 1958, emphasized a community-based approach to rehabilitation. Its associates helped develop the therapeutic community (TC) model, which encouraged peer confrontation as a path to recovery. As TC treatment pioneers made mutual aid profitable, the model attracted powerful supporters and spread rapidly throughout the country. The TC approach was supported as part of the Nixon administration's "law-and-order" policies, favored in the Reagan administration's antidrug campaigns, and remained relevant amid the turbulent drug policies of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. While many contemporary critics characterize American drug policy as simply the expression of moralizing conservatism or a mask for racial oppression, Clark recounts the complicated legacy of the "ex-addict" activists who turned drug treatment into both a product and a political symbol that promoted the impossible dream of a drug-free America.

Dirty Thirty - PB By: Billie Proffitt With a plethora of experiences by her late twenties, Billie Proffitt still felt overwhelmed by the pressure of deciding what she wanted. Raised that well-being is more valuable than the “should’s” of society, she examined not only the roads less traveled, but also the ones that nobody else saw. Her willingness to forge on even as these were littered with pitfalls, paint these non-chronological stories which make up the thirty most important lessons she learned by thirty. Believing as author Natalie Babbitt suggested, that it isn’t death to be feared, “but rather the unlived life,” this gifted storyteller marks the up’s, down’s, backward and eventual steps forward in life that span the range of human emotions. Billie is a bright, quirky, honest young woman who captures the beauty of the human condition with passion and humor - insight and determination. Dirty Thirty doesn’t evoke wistful regret for life’s lost opportunities, but instead inspires reaching toward the great days ahead that yet have to be lived.
