This should be a morning story but it just came to mind and I better write it down before I lose it...... A story from my past.... Some 18 years ago someone dumped her in the AA 502 club in Covina.....Just dumped her there..... she was zonked and she had a little back pack with some clothes.... That is all she had... I do not think she even knew her name...She just wanted to sleep..... The speed had caught up to her and dumped her in a huge bottomless hole....All she wanted was that crappy orange plastic couch.....She was from Long Beach and she had no story..... she was blonde and 25 maybe..... and she was wrecked.... Some of the less noble losers that hang in AA Clubs were dragging her out to cars and bushes for some fun....I doubt if she even knew what was going on....Just let me sleep I came in the second day and started hearing about this bush crap and noticed some dude trying to get her off the couch to take her outside.....I grabbed her and said.... Thats just about enough of that shit....... I took her home and tossed her on the living room couch with a blanket..... and her little crappy pack... Jeez it was pink and had little kitties on it....You are gonna stay here and get rested and then get cleaned up....Then I will find you a womans sober living to get into........ I remember her mumbling..I was a waitress at Spires and I am from Vegas........ And then she went to sleep for about 3 days.......... When she finally woke she looked at me and went straight to the fridge and emptied it and then started on the candy jar....As we began to talk I quickly realized that what was emerging was a well educated, quick witted young woman.... She was not feeling sorry for herself....... There are many users and abusers in this world but she was not one of them.... Drug users are about the best liars on the planet (other than politicians) So you have to listen to them lightly....I called my friend Raquel and got her into the sober Living in Covina....and I watched her grow..... she got jobs and went to meetings.... hit a few bumps but she stayed......and she got away from her demons....I have not seen her in a while but I know she is ok.... She always used to introduce me as the man who saved her life........ I was just pissed off at those slimy jerks taking advantage of her.....But it has worked out well..... She stayed.... I always know when I write a good story...... my nose runs....
