Sita Walker

I'm 28 years old.

I don't really think that God is sitting up there watching me.

I'm not interesting enough.

I'll have a sip.

It was disgusting.

I spat it out in the sink.

It's not a starter beverage, red wine.

For those who have not partaken.

Was that the end of your experimentations with alcohol?

It was for a while.

It was for a while, the end of my experimentations.

But then I dabbled after that.

I dabbled in all of the things, really.

One thing that I dropped, which I think was more...

difficult and I felt more rebellious than anything to do with alcohol or cigarettes or any of that kind of stuff was the prayer.

I really felt

bound to pray in the morning and evening.

And I would feel extremely guilty if I didn't, to the point where if I lay down and I hadn't said my prayers, even if I was completely exhausted, and one often is with two small kids, I would force myself to sit up because you always want to sit respectfully as well when you pray.

It's not something that you do lying down.

And I let go of that.
