I didn’t know much about God, ’cept that if you pissed Him off, He’d getcha one day. My momma knew God—she was raised a Methodist. In fact, her daddy was a Methodist preacher. Still, Momma said she wanted more from God, so for the past couple of years she’d been searching for more. I got to go with her on some of those searches. First, we tried the Jehovah’s Witnesses. They were cool, till I learned they didn’t celebrate Christmas. God or no God, I wasn’t giving up Christmas! Then we tried the Muslims (or the Black Muslims, as Momma called them). I didn’t like them because when we got to their church (which they called a mosque), they made us change our clothes and put on some of their clothes: floor-length dresses and material to wrap our heads in so our hair wouldn’t show. And they searched us too, which pissed me off. But Momma seemed to understand; she said it was because white folks thought the Muslims were militant, so white folks was always messing with ’em—you know, harassing them, arresting them, threatening them. Momma said the Muslims had to be careful so that’s why they were searching folks. uring Momma’s God search, we tried a few other religions. I never really did care one way or the other. I never really seriously thought about God because, no matter what the religion, they all wanted you to be perfect. And I knew I was far from perfect. So I figured God wouldn’t wanna mess with me. I don’t know which religion Momma finally decided on. Maybe she realized she didn’t need a particular religion to know and love God or for God to know and love her. Whatever she decided, she also decided that she wasn’t going to choose for me. She wanted to wait until I was old enough and then let me decide my religion. ― Cupcake Brown, A Piece of Cake

There’s an old saying: “it takes a village to raise a child.” That is so true. Unfortunately, by the time I’d decided to try and turn my life around, I was no longer a child. I was an adult. It takes a community to change an adult.

the acronym for ‘fear’ can mean one of two things: ‘Fuck Everything And Run or Face Everything And Recover.’

“Will you just wait!” he’d holler as I hopped out of the car before he could get around to my side to let me out. “You move too damn slow!” I was so impatient. “Cup, why don’t you just let someone be good to you?” V fussed one night when I complained about Brett getting angry that I wouldn’t wait for him to let me out of the car. “You’re fighting it because you feel like you don’t deserve it. But you do! Let someone love you!”

pride gets us drunk. Ego keeps us drunk. Humility allows us to ask for help; it enables us to get honest about what’s really going on inside.

Don’t worry about yesterday, it’s already gone. There’s nothing you can do about it. And tomorrow isn’t here yet. Just don’t use today. You can do anything for one day.

Finally, she ended our conversation by telling me that I never had to drink and use again—even if I wanted to. “You mean even if I want to use, I don’t have to?” I repeated in disbelief. The concept of not acting on a desire to use had never occurred to me.
