I’m thrilled to be one of the storytellers for the upcoming Stoop Stories in Baltimore at the Senator Theater on April 19th at 8pm. I have a story to tell that will probably surprise many of you, and I want to tell it because I believe very much in the power of the mind-body connection. Come to the event on April 19th and hear some great stories of courage and triumph.
Thanks to Jessica Myles Henkin and Laura Wexler for their excellent coaching and support in our presentations.
Here’s a teaser for my story:
All Ann Bracken wanted was a life without pain. A continuous migraine banged away in her head for seven years. The numerous hospitalizations failed.
Her doctor offered her one last drug: methadone. But when Ann crashed her car twice after falling asleep, she rejected the methadone, the doctors, and the hospitals. She decided to heal herself. This story is an excerpt from Noncompliant,her memoir in search of a publisher.
More stories about the role of drugs and alcohol in my life can be found in my first poetry collection, The Altar of Innocence.
