Follow on Google News | The Academy Boon of Merit Award * Author Academy Awards - NomineeThe Big Trap... Just One Last High by T. Rose How does a demure hard working young Southern Belle climbing the corporate ladder at the forefront of the computer revolution get trapped in the dark underworld of drugs, crime, and prostitution? In her own words, "I was caught in the Big Trap when the omnipotent euphoric high that cocaine produces slowly and steadily eroded my sense of right and wrong. Not just right and wrong for me, but the right and wrong that I allowed others to take control and have power over my life, which was mostly all wrong. Trusting yourself or anyone else who is under the influence of mind altering substances is a mistake, doing it on an everyday basis often proves terminally fatal. I wrote the Big Trap as an extension of my research into the how and why I became addicted and stayed high for most of twenty five years. It wasn't enough to just know, I wanted to fully understand with certainty because at the time I first got straight again I wasn't at all sure I would stay that way. After a few years of digging through all that life ruble and so many of the people who were both part of my addiction and part of my recovery contributing to my understanding, it was a natural extension to see that what I had learned others could benefit from. My belief in God on my way down was there, but I was woefully deaf to hearing or understanding that He was always ready to help, if I only asked with sincerity and acted on what I was given to escape the doomed path I was following. We each have available to us a Higher Power, God, or Jesus, or whatever form you choose that is beyond your flesh and blood being as a force and power to be authentic and live a highly productive life. I did, and sixteen years of sobriety later, I have more than all the things I fantasized having when I was high and wired. The challenges have been many as they are for all of us, but all the drugs and all the self-inflicted abuse I endured at my own willing hand, didn't give me anything I have today or the peace of mind and happiness that goes with it. If one person only gains control over substance abuse destroying their lives, or if one person only gains insights into their own path to certain success from The Big Trap, then my journey to the bottom and back and sharing it with others has purpose and power."
