00:22:52.606 --> 00:22:53.140
She knew something had to change.
00:22:53.273 --> 00:22:53.473
Change. that led to her crying out to a
00:22:53.607 --> 00:22:57.244
That led to her crying out to a god she didn't even believe in
00:22:57.377 --> 00:22:59.613
God she didn't even believe in and going to a place she never
00:22:59.746 --> 00:23:00.647
And going to a place she never expected.
00:23:00.781 --> 00:23:03.684

Never agreed to go on every day ,every way.

,every way. i swore.
00:23:11.158 --> 00:23:11.391
I swore. i vowed i you know i'm never
00:23:11.525 --> 00:23:15.028
I vowed i you know i'm never going to do it again.
00:23:15.162 --> 00:23:15.662
Going to do it again. i'd pour it down the drain only
00:23:15.796 --> 00:23:17.030
I'd pour it down the drain only to be going out at 4 p.m. later
00:23:17.164 --> 00:23:17.898
To be going out at 4 p.m. later that day to get more 22.

That day to get more 22. tricia fenimore realized
00:23:20.901 --> 00:23:21.401
Tricia fenimore realized alcohol was her life.
00:23:21.535 --> 00:23:23.937
Alcohol was her life. what started as an elixir to
00:23:24.071 --> 00:23:24.805
What started as an elixir to build confidence self-esteem
00:23:24.938 --> 00:23:28.875
Build confidence self-esteem was now in control and exposing
00:23:29.009 --> 00:23:29.643
Was now in control and exposing the hate she had for others.
00:23:29.776 --> 00:23:32.412
The hate she had for others. >> it lowered my inhibition so
00:23:32.546 --> 00:23:33.180
>> it lowered my inhibition so that i was willing vocalize
00:23:33.313 --> 00:23:35.882
That i was willing vocalize that hate and to act out that.
00:23:36.016 --> 00:23:39.886
That hate and to act out that. >> hatred, tricia says, started
00:23:40.020 --> 00:23:40.620
>> hatred, tricia says, started when she rejected as a young
00:23:40.754 --> 00:23:44.091
When she rejected as a young girl.
00:23:44.224 --> 00:23:44.391
Girl. >> she had always shown a lot
00:23:44.524 --> 00:23:45.158

Of potential and was placed in her schools accelerated
00:23:48.261 --> 00:23:48.729
Her schools accelerated programs for her being smart
00:23:48.862 --> 00:23:51.231
Programs for her being smart equated to being a good person.
00:23:51.364 --> 00:23:51.998
Equated to being a good person. so she decided in fifth grade
00:23:52.132 --> 00:23:55.335
So she decided in fifth grade she had no need for god.
00:23:55.469 --> 00:23:56.002
She had no need for god. >> everyone tells me i'm smart
00:23:56.136 --> 00:23:59.372
>> everyone tells me i'm smart you know, so i could probably
00:23:59.506 --> 00:24:00.107
You know, so i could probably do this life on my own.
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.176
Do this life on my own. i could maintain a good enough
00:24:03.310 --> 00:24:03.977
I could maintain a good enough heart on my own.
00:24:04.111 --> 00:24:04.511
Heart on my own. we'd say the pledge of
00:24:04.644 --> 00:24:06.446
We'd say the pledge of allegiance.
00:24:06.580 --> 00:24:06.847
Allegiance. and from then on i just stopped
00:24:06.980 --> 00:24:07.647
And from then on i just stopped saying the words under god.
00:24:07.781 --> 00:24:10.183
Saying the words under god. and that was the expression of
00:24:10.317 --> 00:24:10.984
And that was the expression of my atheism until.
00:24:11.118 --> 00:24:15.188
My atheism until. then i went to college and was
00:24:15.322 --> 00:24:16.089
Then i went to college and was able to really dive in the deep
00:24:16.223 --> 00:24:18.625
Able to really dive in the deep end of angry militant atheism
00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:21.895
End of angry militant atheism spirit.
00:24:22.028 --> 00:24:22.229
Spirit. >> it was in college she
00:24:22.362 --> 00:24:22.963

Discovered alcohol her the confidence to voice her anger
00:24:26.466 --> 00:24:27.033
Confidence to voice her anger and hatred towards anyone who
00:24:27.167 --> 00:24:27.768
And hatred towards anyone who disagreed with her especially
00:24:27.901 --> 00:24:30.570
Disagreed with her especially christians.
00:24:30.704 --> 00:24:30.971
Christians. i became very combative,
00:24:31.104 --> 00:24:35.075
I became very combative, aggressive and hostile to

Aggressive and hostile to anyone who even dared mention
00:24:35.842 --> 00:24:38.245
Anyone who even dared mention god.
00:24:38.378 --> 00:24:38.512
God. if i saw a cross necklace on
00:24:38.645 --> 00:24:39.412
If i saw a cross necklace on somebody i was just filled with
00:24:39.546 --> 00:24:42.616
Somebody i was just filled with rage about it.
00:24:42.749 --> 00:24:43.049
Rage about it. it really grew very quickly in

My life and i was i filled with such hate toward people of

Such hate toward people of faith but all people.
00:24:51.158 --> 00:24:54.528

Took a minimum wage job feeling guilt of wasted potential only
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:01.034
Guilt of wasted potential only deepened her need for alcohol.
00:25:01.168 --> 00:25:05.405
Deepened her need for alcohol. i wanted somebody to blame.
00:25:05.539 --> 00:25:06.139

Didn't want it to be me. i began to look at other people

I began to look at other people like they were and i hated and
00:25:10.410 --> 00:25:12.846
Like they were and i hated and envied them for being to
00:25:12.979 --> 00:25:16.183
Envied them for being to navigate life without you know

Harlem. >> it was very uncomfortable

>> it was very uncomfortable but it was also one of the most
00:29:02.842 --> 00:29:07.047

Transformative and beautiful of my life in that class.

To several people in my past and write them letters.

Whether it's racism, whether it's addiction, whether it's

It's addiction, whether it's jealousy whether it's envy,

Deliver us from that. and that for me has been the
00:29:59.833 --> 00:30:03.236
And that for me has been the only way out from literally the
00:30:03.369 --> 00:30:06.106
Only way out from literally the gates of tricia story is
00:30:06.239 --> 00:30:10.577
Gates of tricia story is remarkable in its uniqueness to
00:30:10.710 --> 00:30:14.547
Remarkable in its uniqueness to her but there are so many
00:30:14.681 --> 00:30:18.318
Her but there are so many people struggling with some of
00:30:18.451 --> 00:30:21.254
People struggling with some of the things she struggled with
00:30:21.387 --> 00:30:21.988
The things she struggled with to you know, see god i can't
00:30:22.122 --> 00:30:25.792
To you know, see god i can't feel i'm i wasn't raised with

This so. i'm just not going to believe

I'm just not going to believe or i can't do life.
00:30:30.130 --> 00:30:33.233
Or i can't do life. it's just too much for me.
00:30:33.366 --> 00:30:33.933
It's just too much for me. so i need something to get me

So i need something to get me through it's it's not enough
00:30:37.337 --> 00:30:37.937
Through it's it's not enough and yet you know we take things
00:30:38.071 --> 00:30:40.540
And yet you know we take things to help us get through life and
00:30:40.673 --> 00:30:44.410
To help us get through life and we feel all big and bad in the
00:30:44.544 --> 00:30:45.311
We feel all big and bad in the process of it.
00:30:45.445 --> 00:30:45.778
Process of it. we can't get through it but
00:30:45.912 --> 00:30:49.048
We can't get through it but we're in charge of it and we're
00:30:49.182 --> 00:30:49.916
We're in charge of it and we're not doing a very good job.
00:30:50.049 --> 00:30:52.285
Not doing a very good job. you know some of you might find

The goals that i thought were going to make me happy and i
00:31:12.438 --> 00:31:13.039
Going to make me happy and i really didn't any part of it.
00:31:13.173 --> 00:31:14.741
Really didn't any part of it. i look back now and i'm so
00:31:14.874 --> 00:31:18.645

Thankful for the tenacity of those people who kept coming,
00:31:19.479 --> 00:31:22.582
Those people who kept coming, kept sharing and kept praying
00:31:22.715 --> 00:31:25.418
Kept sharing and kept praying and you know it wasn't those

And you know it wasn't those people that brought me to the
00:31:26.486 --> 00:31:29.923
People that brought me to the front of the cross.
00:31:30.056 --> 00:31:33.493
Front of the cross. those people dug up some hard
00:31:33.626 --> 00:31:34.260
Those people dug up some hard ground that needed telling and
00:31:34.394 --> 00:31:37.630
Ground that needed telling and maybe that's happening to you

Maybe that's happening to you today as you listen story

Because there's just much that comes around us and wants to

Comes around us and wants to keep us from god.
00:31:45.572 --> 00:31:48.708
Keep us from god. >> you know, it wasn't just
