She has learnt to stand up and face them head on. Praying to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, she was given the strength and wisdom to share by recording her thoughts into a book. Carrie’s early childhood in a small country town called Badin North Carolina was happy despite her Fathers addiction to alcohol. The addiction paralyzed the family to where they would panic when the time surfaced to their fathers’ homecoming from work. Being able to determine her fathers’ identity upon his arrival helped Carrie to prepare for whatever. She received love because of the tears her father would shed once he’d snap back to reality and became himself again and by her strong mother’s will to survive. Through it all their mother made time for it. Carrie’s world changed when that demonic alcoholic person physically injured her mother, causing her to be hospitalized. At the age of fourteen Carrie’s mother gathered strength and moved to a small town called Mount Holly, North Carolina. The year of 1971 she graduated from high school and attended North Carolina Vocational Textile School in Belmont, North Carolina where she graduated receiving her Second Diploma in Apparel Manufacturing. She attended Black World Barber College in Charlotte, North Carolina where she graduated receiving a diploma in hair. She pushed on and became a registered Barber for the state of North Carolina. She began cutting hair for the United State Army at Fort Bragg North Carolina. Continuing to deal with life’s problem, Carrie married a co-worker from Fort Bragg, North Carolina. A year after she learned that her husband was addicted to crack cocaine. Her world turned upside down. Living with an addict opened wounds from her childhood with her alcoholic father. Not knowing how to deal with the re-surfacing emotions caused Carrie to continuously make trips to the doctor. Carrie confided in a friend about what was going on in her home, not knowing of that friend’s pass of being a recovering crack cocaine addict. While Carrie was educated on the different signs of addictions, her friend introduced her to co-dependency. Carrie admitted herself into co-dependency classes where she found out she was her false self. That’s how she gathered tools of knowledge to regain her identity back. Writing her thoughts down became therapeutic. Fusing her thoughts together inspired her to write A New You.view less
