PO BOX 1980

I was reading the story about the Eleventh Step ("From Foxhole to Light," March 2008). I started weeping because I thought it was my mom's story about me. I left home at a young age, too. I would call my dad every now and then and let him know I was still alive. Sometimes I would beg him to let me come home, and he wouldn't. I remember so many times waking up in a bed, covered in mud, not knowing where I was. I also tried to commit suicide.
