Born June 18, 1936. Atlantic New Jersey.
Barbara Blaze went to prison as a juvenile for murder. When she got
out of prison she dedicated her life to helping Junkies. She died
from Liver Cancer in the year 2000.
Blaze told me - When you are a fat kid, you are the joke. I wanted
more than anything in the world to be a ballerina. but I ended up in
the Roller Derby. What else can you become when you look like me?
Then came Jail and it was no more tears ever again. F#k with me now!
Hate became my best friend; it was always there. Now I had a room
full of friends who were scared to death of me, saying Anything you
want Blaze.
The God Mother of Narcotics Anonymous passed away last night. Barbara
Blaze from Atlantic City, NJ, has gone on to be with so many other
heavy hitters; gone on to that big NA meeting in the sky. She passed
with 26 years clean in NA. I wish to pass on to you a poem she wrote:
To All My Clean Babies In NA:
The Junkie Mother.
Now through you....
My dreams can come true....
Remember my years heavy with sorrow....
Make of these years ....
A torch for tomorrow...
Make my past.....
A road to light....
Believe in yourself....
Let none push you down....
Look upward to the stars...
For I will be with you....
Till no one dares keep you down....
The children of a junkie mother...... ......From Blaze.
May the light from the love she has bestowed on this fellowship,
burn so bright, if the sun never shone again,
we would be warmed by her love.
