My name is Sherrie Egans Martin. I am from Hobbs, New Mexico! Shout out to my home folks! I penned my book under Sherrie Egans Carpenter, which is titled, "Soldier Girl's Trail of Blood". It depicts my journey from Gulf War Veteran, to crack-cocaine addict, to inmate number 1185775. In that order! I began writing my book while incarcerated from 2004 through 2009. I penned a letter to Oprah Winfrey, in prose, while incarcerated seeking assistance on getting my story out to try an deter others from taking this path. I never heard from Ms. Winfrey (Smile). I've included a copy of this letter on page 88 of my book. You are so trapped in that cage, until you will try to reach out to someone, anyone with influence that can help you survive in that concrete jungle. My book was published in 2011 after my release from prison. This is a good read because I dared to be honest and own my truths which is the first step to recovery. I'm opening myself up to all the stigma associated with addicts, and the crack-head jokes etc. because I feel that my story can gives others hope to keep battling this disease of addiction. No, "Ain't going back and forth with you", on whether you feel it's a disease or a choice. My primary goal in telling my story is to reach out to the addict still suffering, and their families. The Disease of addiction is an ongoing battle, and relapse is a part of recovery. If you have a relapse don't wallow in it! Get back up again and back on the straight path! I'm thriving and well, but it's a daily struggle. Crack-cocaine addicts can recover!
