Is one more drink worth your life? Is it worth hers?
Diane is a fun-loving, intelligent, caring mother and wife when she is sober. When she is drunk, the "monster" takes control and stops at nothing to wreak havoc on the ones she loves. As her alcoholism worsens, Diane spirals out of control. Her oldest child, Anthony, attempts to build the courage to help his mom before the "monster" defeats her once and for all.
In his personal journal, Anthony chronicles three days from hell as he battles his mom's addiction. All of the destruction, failed recovery attempts, and heartaches lead to one bloody moment. Does he save his mom in time? Or does one more drink send her too far gone?
Because Wattpad readers are so loyal, I wanted to tweak my full story and offer my family's struggle to everyone for free. My goal is to spread awareness through our experience with the crippling effects of addiction. Proceeds of my full book will be donated to, "To Write Love on Her Arms." It is a national mental health and addiction foundation.

She was the baby they blamed. The sister they forgot. Guilt runs deep. Love runs late. And time may not wait for them to make it right. She never asked for much-just to be seen, to be loved. Born the day their mother died, Lucia became the silent shadow in a broken house. Forgotten by the four brothers who once cradled and kissed her as a baby, she learned to shrink, to survive. But when a cruel illness leaves her helpless, they are forced to see what they've ignored for years-a little girl, aching for care, terrified to need them, and still loving them with everything she has. #5 in family: 27/05/2025 #1 in sad: 05/07/2025 #1 in sick: 27/05/2025 #1 in disease: 05/07/2025 #1 in rich: 31/05/2025 #2 in siblings: 24/05/2025 #1 in brothers: 24/05/2025 #1 in neglect: 31/05/2025 #1 in babysister: 31/05/2025 #1 in help: 13/07/2025 #2 in elderbrothers: 31/05/2025 1k reads: 23/05/2025 100k reads: 2/06/2025 200k reads: 15/06/2025 300k reads: 04/07/2025 400k reads: 15/08/2025 500k reads: 1/11/2025 Started: 22nd May 2025 Ended: 28th May 2025Concluida

The Night We Came to Be
Your mind can adapt to such bizarre circumstances. It is a tool capable of extraordinary things, and in turn, it is an inevitable vulnerability in every person's system that can easily be provoked. A mind that can easily be conquered, the truest victim of pain. Despite this, it will continue to provide. It will sustain and ease. Always. For Darryl, it had been a struggle, separating the cruelty of life from his temple, his haven, his sanity. The burdens kept piling on and on, it felt as if there's no one else to turn to. An oblivious teen, an oblivious mind. He is, without a doubt, as desperate for change as they come. Though the road towards wisdom seems treacherous, his heart and mind shall unite, and together they shall guide Darryl to a pleasurable, if not enlightening, path. And once they do, not only will Darryl feel the significant change in his nightly life, he won't even know whether or not it had already started. *A Wattys Shorts entry*Concluida

Love and the Phantom Queen of Suburbia
Completed. Highest Hot List Rankings: 1 in Wellness 3 in Autobiography 3 in Memoir 5 in Gratitude Excerpt from To the Lady Who Leaves Me Starry-Eyed: I still fear falling in love again...Love has a way of distorting everything, for better and for worse, like a Hall of Mirrors. I remind myself you'd be there to help me see true, just like the Dungeons and Dragons character of mine who gained True Sight during one of your homebrew campaigns. Her luminous eyes, dark and deep, swim with sparkling pinpoint stars. These letters and reflective essays examine the formative experiences and relationships I have had, dating back to about the age of 15 or 16 and working their way onward (but not in chronological order). Some detail connections I made as a late teen/adult. A few occurred in childhood, proper. You can pick up a Kindle or paperback edition, with exclusive chapters, on Amazon. There is Wattpad-exclusive content here, as well, so it's a benefit to check it out on both sites.Concluida

I had this idea last night after a few drinks, a pounding headache, and an excessive amount of throat lozenges. In order to inspire me to write more often than I currently do, I am planning to write a new post every day and publish it, allowing me to rant about whatever is on my mind. Anything goes with this story. Maybe I will talk about something deep and metaphysical about the meaning of human existence, or rant about why my life sucks and how I prefer iced tea over hot tea. Anything goes. This is just an inspiration to allow me to write SOMETHING every single day of the year. Hopefully I can keep up.... If I end up deleting this story, I guess you'll know that I failed. STARTED: January 1st, 2022. TECHNICALLY FINISHED: July 19th, 2022 "365 pt 2" has been started, and will have the rest of 2022. Wattpad has a limit of 200 chapters. Who knew?Concluida
Appetizer ( wattpadprize14 )
I’m not a fighter in the traditional sense. I will suffer first, and sort out the pain later. But I don’t give up. I grew up in a bubble of privilege, while all I’ve ever wanted to do was live underground. Everything started early. The name-calling pushed me into becoming anti-social. I spoke exclusively to my worst best friend and the alternate persona in my head. I spent years like this, feeling completely alone. I convinced myself that I didn’t need other people. I would become smarter than them, reading and studying. I would find my own fun, watching late night TV and going to concerts. I wasn’t just sad. I was depressed. And the reason seemed insignificant. It all started over the loss of some playground boyfriend. I tried to be anorexic, but instead I wound up eating more. I wanted to stay asleep and avoid the tragedy that replayed in my head everyday. I was sick of the world I was in. I wanted to commit suicide. One day I heard a song on the radio that introduced me to a new genre of music. It was an electric shock to my system, and suddenly I had a reason to go on living. I discovered that melancholy was perfectly normal. I understood that I had the power to change things, and navigate my own future. Appetizer is a memoir of extreme social anxiety. It is approximately 350 pages (78,700 words). I have also written an extensive outline, detailing each chapter. Appetizer chronicles the anguish that many have experienced growing up, while emphasizing the importance of never giving up hope. The story offers solutions in not being able to relate to your peers, or anybody else for that matter. By reading Appetizer, I hope to help people feel less alone, and gain a more empathic understanding of humanity as a whole.Concluida
