She was a lead in the high school production of the musical Carousel. She left high school, attended Kent State University’s School of Nursing, and began practicing in 1974. Rejected by her high school sweetie, CJ moved from Ohio to Greeley, Colorado with a high school friend. To cope with the pain of rejection, she began drinking heavily. She left Greeley to live in a ski town, while she skied and was a maid. There she met her future husband; they moved to Sausalito, California, to live aboard a 43-foot sailboat. However, after three years, CJ left the alcoholic marriage. CJ hit bottom with her drinking after being rejected by the love of her life at the marina.
