this is a story about me....cortnye's mom. Donna Teaster. (short version)
some of cortnye's friends will say i am cool...once upon a time i wasn't.this is to show ya'll you can make a better life for yourselves.
i am a drug addict...not a former drug addict. i have not did drugs in almost 6 years, but i'll always be one. you can't quit then go back. i have did more drugs than most of you will ever see. pills?... you could hold a hand full out to me and i could tell you the names of them and what they did. cocaine...when it was the good shit..not this crack shit out not. crank was my drug of choice...yes, i was a speed baller or tweeker. if someone had a pill or anything i'd take it to get high.
cortnye's grandma even took custody of cortnye from me. for cortnye's own good. so then i quit drugs for about 4 years. got cortnye back...few years later i was back on drugs. then 1 night cortnye told me i am going to leave with grandma for good if your don't quit the drugs. she helped me save my life...she was my little rock to lean on. she was my shoulder to cry on. but i got my life together with cortnye's help. got a good job...then got a better job...got layed off...went to school to learn to drive a truck...the day i graduated truck driving school i look down and seen something that made the hard work worth while...cortnye looking at me like i was a mama she could be proud of...for the first time in her life. then i got a job driving a truck with the company that layed me off. and i was scared to death. here i was 5'8" 140lbs....with 80,000 lbs of steel under my ass. i got transfered to another division in the company and was going to quit my job... when i met jon who took me under his wing and helped me keep my job. we fell in love with in the 1st week. planned to get married and did. this years on july 18th jon adopted cortnye and gave her something she never had before a dad that loves her with his life.
this is to let ya'll know if you want it bad enough you can do it...if you don't stop wasting yours, mine and everyone elses time. we can't do it for you...only you can.
