But so did every other "chick" at this YPAA (Young people Alcohol Anonymous) camping outing at Lake Beryesa, I was invited by my sponsor who is 26, I was the oldest person in the group, it was a very rewarding experience, at times, I felt challenged with all those younguns and the fact that I couldn't wear much in the way of clothes or make-up, (My eyebrow pencil melted!) but I got along fine, I did get called she or her about 30 or 40 times, young people seem to think I am way cool.

I was a little envious of some of the really pretty younger women but then I heard them share their stories in the group meetings and I realized they go through the same struggles that I do.

YPAA is pronounced why-paw so I joked that I was a why-paw ma.
