Okay, second of 2013, I do have a sponsor who has a sponsor as well, and I happen to

the 12 steps and I do have the privilege of sponsoring other women in this program, which

Probably wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for alcohol, it's just to throw it out there.

I did grow up in York, Pennsylvania, which is about two hours from here, but with Petty

We had a lot of land, so I could pretty much do whatever I wanted.

I have a older brother, so I always hung out with the guys when I was younger, but growing

up, I always hear people speak from the podium, like I always felt different.

Or I didn't fit in, and I would chase things to make me feel better.

And when I was younger, I really, I can't say I felt that way when I was like young,

So when I'm out of myself, I'm perfectly okay.

So like riding dirt bikes with my older brother, like that was just what we did every single

day, and it took me out of myself in that work for a really long time.
