By Carla Sameth “So my son’s an addict. I guess at this point you might wonder what the hell his mom did to make him that way. Actually, I had to put him in a twelve-step program at three years old. NA—Nursing Anonymous.” My first standup set ever; I had performed at the Comedy Store in Hollywood. Lots of laughs. Asked back by the host to perform another set. My son, Raphael was 18 years old, six months in recovery. I woke up the next day feeling like shit. I’d “outed” Raphael, as an addict.
Backstepping
By Robin Schoenthaler I have many strong suits; dancing is not one of them. So the day I nail a complicated backstep on my very first try it’s hard to tell who is more shocked, my dance instructor or me.

I’m a single mom with two kids and a job, and it’s everything I can do to get to this one-hour dance class each week.
