That decision that I had to make was to either drink and drug, or sign up at the YMCA. After the morning house meeting one day, I went upstairs to my apartment. I changed into my workout clothes and put a lot of money in one of my pockets. I walked out the front door of the Aurora building. I looked straight ahead in the direction of the YMCA, maybe 200 yards on the right. I looked to my right, down Wellington Street in the direction of the Brother's Two barroom. I smoked my cigarette. A life or death decision. I had plenty of money in my pocket. Three or four beers and then an eight ball of crack, or.work out. I decided to sign up at the Y. After years of struggling with alcoholism and addiction, author Dave O'Donnell decided to take charge of his illness and start the long journey to his recovery. From his days as the kid next door and his time in a seminary, to the seedy world of drug use, O'Donnell recounts his experiences in a matter-of-fact manner, bringing you into a seldom-seen world. From God's House to a Crackhouse is the story of his one-day-at-a-time victory over the curse of addiction.
