"No one understands addiction," she said. "It is like loving
someone who doesn't love you back. You do it until you don't. Or
until you die." After Nancy Jackson was arrested for DUI-not one,
not twice, but five times- she got behind the wheel of her car,
intoxicated, and was arrested. Incarcerated at the Oklahoma
Department of Corrections, she spent a year behind bars, living
with people she couldn't tolerate and wouldn't have associated with
anywhere else. She often wondered what it was that made her give up
everything that meant anything to her. And finally she learned the
answer: a disease called alcoholism. Two Hots and a Cot is a
brutally honest and compelling day-by-day account of her journey on
the road to recovery through the Oklahoma justice system. Living
through nightmares in the dark and nightmares in the light of day,
she learned to survive in the unknown and the unexpected. She
learned to deal with despair, anger, and frustration, and turn it
to hope. She found wisdom in the words of women who were
incarcerated for drugs, alcohol, crimes against humanity and
themselves; women who were mothers, daughters, grandmothers, and
sisters. She found friendship, faith, and healing in the most
unlikely place, behind bars. And she found God.
