I came the HH in 2004, I had one foot in my grave and the other on a banana peal. My mother & father dropped me off at the blue house and wondered what I had got myself into. Believe it or not the first person i met as I entered was no other than Tom Hickey.
Tom took one look at me and said “YOUR GONNA DIE”!!! I thought to myself what a thing to say to someone upon arrival. It took a while for me to figure out and eternalize why he would say that. The truth is he was rite. If I hadent shown up when I did I would have for sure.. By the grace of my higher power the Hickey house and Tom Hicky I didn’t relaps. Truth is I wanted to. I wanted to go out and get just a tore up as possible. Only problem is I remembered what to said to me. I eventually was put on staff at the Mountain House. I stayed at the house for 3 years and moved to Demorest
In one of Sherry Hickyes apartments. I forgot to mention I worked 3 jobs while there. Made more money than I ever have and loved it. I was actually happy. No dope and I was actually happy.. Star Bridges was a good friend to me. I wonder if he remembers me? Hey Star hope you are well.
