I Hope Prince Charming Drinks: Recent Episodes
Pam
Readings from my book, "I Hope Prince Charming Drinks." Stories about struggling with addictions and then the ups and downs of recovery.
This chapter is about being molested when I was 11. I don't know what was worth, the act or the aftermath...
Did I inherit alcoholism and drug addiction? It goes back many generations. Nanny is about my special relationship with my maternal grandmother...
What goes on in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas. Warning. This is an eight on the cringe-worthy scale.
I hope you listened to the previous episodes. They'll give you an idea of just how weird I was as a kid. Can you picture me playing with stuffed animals and dolls. Neither can I.
I'm posting two chapters today. One is a shorty. Chapter Three is "Target Practice," in which Annie finds a gun and has some fun with Mother and her boyfriend. The second is "Mother's Little Helper." It's cringeworthy and it reveals Annie's relationship with her mother.
Annie awakes to face another day of drinking and drugging, but something happens that rocks her sad, little world.
Annie quits her last good job in advertising to drink round the clock. She takes a personal interest in a daytime TV show.
Annie quits her job in order to drink around the clock. Drunk, out of work and completely alone, she takes a personal interest in a daytime TV show.
