Your language hooks the reader’s attention from the opening words and sustains it effortlessly until the end. And the end always feels too soon, which is ideal! Thank you for sharing your story, Cara. You are inspiring.

Newly sober once again, the majority of your story fits me to a T… Geographics are different and certainly didn’t live in a palace. Thanks for making me feel connected today Cara❤️

I really got lost in this one. So vivid and descriptive. Really didn’t want it to end. Great self reflection too. It’s haunting to realize events that trigger addiction in one’s life. I would love to hear more about your Miami friends and your Mother. ❤️

Cara - I totally remember meeting Kathy and Domingo, driving around in someone's Mercedes (I think) and going through Big Daddy's drive thru booze store. I never knew what happened to him.
