fruit cocktail I mean anything snacks that I could fit in there and I did it twice and the first time I got away uh without getting caught and it was quite a victory actually because I felt very proud that I was able to like put food on the table so to speak and this the next time I did it um I got caught.

And the man at the store was sort of a security guard, I suppose, plain clothes, but security guard. And I said to him, I said, well, I didn't have anything to eat and I wanted to get food. And I tried to explain my way out of it. There's really no explaining it. It was very obvious what I was doing. And he let me go. And he said, don't do it again.

No, there were moments I think I was hopeful that if she had a good week or two that maybe she was clean. And it didn't take much for me to have hope that she was okay. And I looked for any glimmer of a positive trajectory for her recovery. For example, generally she didn't work when we were growing up. She collected welfare, and so we survived on public assistance.

But she got a grocery store job, I remember, maybe three weeks or so. And just in that brief period and then another time where she had gotten a job at Rite Aid. And so I remember having those moments where it felt like she was trying and that she was moving towards something better and healthier. And so I don't know that I was necessarily in denial so much as I was...

In some ways, I think it was just this act of faith and not a religious faith, but like an inner knowing that there was another way to live that was possible beyond what I had witnessed. Certainly, it helps when you have media around. And so TV and books played a role in that for me as well. I

I suppose it was a blessing to have grown up as a Cosby kid, you know, to be able to grow up and witness a family that was so different from mine.
