Never- NEVER say Never

So, growing up a sickly child, migraines at the age of three, probably and probably younger, being this ill makes a person make promises, swear that ” I Will Never”.
I won’t bore ya’ll with the drawn-out facts, but I was born with a genetic condition that caused me to have high blood pressure, which caused me to have migraines from a very young age. My parents speak of me automatically throwing up after being breastfed, so Doctors put me on soy milk. Anyway, blah-blah-blah, this continued until I was in my teens, constantly sick at PE time, recess, and anything that would raise blood pressure. I was considered a middle child, seeking attention.
I was given many medications at the age of 13. How many? 28 per day. I said to myself, and I would NEVER – ever become addicted to pills, gross, I can’t stomach it.
Thirty years later, I became addicted to pain meds.
Married an alcoholic, said I would NEVER- ever, drink alcohol. 25 years later, at the age of 50, after never drinking a drop of alcohol, you guessed it, became an alcoholic.
Join me. It’s time to get sober. I’ve Been drinking for seven years straight; it’s time to give it all up and face the sorrow, shame, and rage I’ve been burying for 57 years.
