I found out today, reading the papers, that a woman from my AA home group committed suicide on Tuesday. F****. I am so sad and angry.

She was only 32, and had about 4 months clean and sober.

She was really opinionated and had a funny habit of changing pronouns whenever she read from the Big Book or the 12 & 12. She changed all the male pronouns to female pronouns.

She'd had a horrible life - she ran away from home at 12 and worked as a teen prostitute. But she'd really turned it around. She'd gotten off the streets - gone back to school for upgrading through a program for people with addiction and mental health issues, and was now in law school. She was supposed to start third year next month. She was a well known activist for sex trade workers' rights.

I really hate this disease.
