Carla

*
Carla comes from a long line of addicts, alcoholics, and chronically unhappy people. When she was sixteen, she was doing a bang up job of elongating that line. When she was nineteen, she decided the line was long enough and she severed it. She got sober. She learned about herself and her family and addiction. She got a clear picture of what she was up against. That was ten years ago. Life as a sober person isn’t always easy. When it gets hard she thinks of the line, how far it reaches back, how it has wrapped itself around her relatives, how it can come for her at any time. She is vigilant, and happy.
