Hello Friends! I am Tonya and I live in Terrebonne Parish Louisiana. That is where Gustav 1st hit land. For the first time ever in my life, I have ran from a hurricane. We went to family in Shreveport. My mom's family. I evacuated with my AHusband, my NABrother in Law and my A Mother. With my NA Uncle and my aunt. I couldn't find a hotel anywhere so we decided to stay at my family's house in Shreveport. OMG.... this was worse than if I would have stayed home. We got there, everyone had a beer in their hands. And most of them never slept for the 1st 24 hours. They were doing cocaine. Me and my sober evacuees were in total disbelief. I immediately got on the phone and started calling hotels to see if there were any cancellations. We spent 2 nights there and left yesterday. Now I am in a hotel room in Lafayette. We can't go back to our parish until Friday. This is much better than the crack house I was at in Shreveport. 1 night down here and 1 or possibly 2 to go....
As far as my homes in Houma, LA. I dunno. I think they are okay. I've only heard that a few shingles are missing and maybe the fence is messed up. I've heard that my town looks like a bomb hit it.
I am a homebody and I am okay with it. I have a great life. I am blessed with my home and Asober MOM and HUSBAND. I am looking forward to getting back to my routine. And I am even looking forward to working some more on myself.
I've learned something very important on this trip. This is THEIR (the addicts/alcholics) life.....not mine. I want better for myself and there disease is not my problem unless I let it be.
Needless to say...if I leave again...I am going to be better prepared and have me a room ASAP. You just never know.
Thanks everyone!

3 pm Wednesday.. Now I've had enough. We left Houma, LA on Sunday! I've been in very close quarters with my Hubby, Mom and Brother In Law. Not to mention money is getting tight. I am ready to go home and get back to normalicy. I hope we can go back home on Friday...with electricity or not. I want my space!
WOW Sincerely! When it comes down to a hurricane or a crack house, you know your choices are limited. Good for you for getting out of there asap!!! I'll keep you in my prayers that you get home soon and to minimul damage. Glad you're safe!!
You know...after being around all that chaos in S'port, I am thankful for my A. I never in a million years thought that my mom and my hubby would be in the same hotel room. I am not stressed out at all! Who would have imagined? Thank HP!
I'm so glad that you are safew and even managed to get out of the crackhouse. You are in my thoughts today.
