'WOKE UP and FOUND MYSELF HERE' PROJECT
This Project is dedicated in Memory of My Father, Rupert (Rocky) W. Brockway, who died when he was only 42 from complications of Alcoholism.
His passion for music lives on through me.
Fiscally sponsored by Hai : www.hospaud.org 501(c)3 a nonprofit organization, founded in 1969 by Michael Jon Spencer. Each year, HAI touches the lives of more than 400,000 people in the New York City community whose access to the arts has been limited by health, age or income. HAI provides cultural access through music, dance, theatre and the visual arts, reaching out to the frail elderly, mentally and physically disabled, seriously ill children at health and social service facilities, and youth in grades K - 12. Services include tickets to cultural events; arts workshops; onsite performances of music, theater and dance; audio description for visually impaired theater-goers; youth-leadership, conflict resolution, HIV and life skills workshops using role play technique; and transportation for people with disabilities on two specially designed Omni*Buses.
HAI relies on the talent and creativity of hundreds of artists and performers, in partnership with government agencies, foundations, corporations and private individuals, to deliver arts services that improve the daily lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable people.
Since its inception, HAI has reached an aggregate audience totaling more than 11,787,000 million at more than 376,000 cultural events. Hai's work is made possible by your generous support. The goals of HAI are to bring Hope And Inspiration by providing access:
- to the arts: by bringing people isolated from the cultural mainstream to cultural institutions and other visual and performing arts experiences or by presenting the arts directly to them in the institutions.
- through the arts: to life-saving information and decision-making skills regarding critical public health issues, including HIV/AIDS, TB, violence prevention, and homelessness, for people in shelters, hospitals, mental health facilities, residences and housing programs for special populations (such as people living with HIV or AIDS), schools, drug treatment programs, and other settings.
The "Woke Up & Found Myself Here" Project will benefit families and friends of Alcoholics, who have had their lives affected, addressing the emotional disease of alcoholism. It is estimated that each alcoholic affects the lives of at least four other people... alcoholism is truly a family disease.
The "Woke Up & Found Myself Here" Project will be a multidisciplinary project consisting of a published Journal of actual case histories accounting the affects of Alcoholism on lives, sharing information and experiences in hopes to help others in similar situations. Included will be Artwork, Poetry and a Music Compilation CD with original artwork and music from Artists whom themselves have been affected in some way by Alcoholism. 100% of all proceeds from the sale of the multidisciplinary journel will be used to benefit families whose lives have been affected by Alcoholism.
** If you have a story to share, artwork, poetry and/or original music for this project, please click on the ''Contact WUFMH'' link in the left side menu for consideration. Please state whether or not you would like your name mentioned as author or you can remain anonymous.

News: Joe Nichols Returns to Make 'Old Things New' |
|
 
In 2002, Joe Nichols released his first album for Universal South. 'Man with a Memory' was a resounding success with critics, and featured two smash hits, 'The Impossible' and 'Brokenheartsville,' a sweet, personal ballad and a humor- (and booze)- fueled honky-tonk tale, respectively. A string of hits, including Top 10s such as 'If Nobody Believed in You,' 'What's a Guy Gotta Do, and 'Size Matters (Someday)' followed, along with the chart-topping 'Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off.'

 What Not To Do...
| • |
Don't attempt to punish, threaten, bribe, or preach. |
| • |
Don't try to be a martyr. Avoid emotional appeals that may only increase feelings of guilt and the compulsion to drink or use other drugs. |
| • |
Don't take over their responsibilities, leaving them with no sense of importance or dignity. |
| • |
Don't hide or dump bottles, throw out drugs, or shelter them from situations where alcohol is present. |
| • |
Don't argue with the person when they are impaired or high. |
| • |
Don't try to drink along with the problem drinker or take drugs with the drug abuser. |
| • |
Above all, don't feel guilty or responsible for another's behavior. |

If you are like many Americans, you may drink alcohol occasionally. Or, like others, you may drink moderate amounts of alcohol on a more regular basis. If you are a woman or someone over the age of 65, this means that you have no more than one drink per day; if you are a man, this means that you have no more than two drinks per day. Drinking at these levels usually is not associated with health risks and can help to prevent certain forms of heart disease.
But did you know that even moderate drinking, under certain circumstances, is not risk free? And that if you drink at more than moderate levels, you may be putting yourself at risk for serious problems with your health and problems with family, friends, and coworkers? This document explains some of the consequences of drinking that you may not have considered.

Is drinking alcohol harming my health now, or will it be harmful to me later in life? Should I stop drinking alcohol? Am I a binge drinker? Most adults who drink alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, or liquor) consume safe and healthy amounts. For others, unsafe drinking patterns increase their risk for injury, illness or future alcohol problems. And, for 1 in 13 American adults, alcohol abuse or alcohol dependence (alcoholism) causes substantial harm to their health and disruption in their lives.
