I'd be happy to share what experience, strength, and hope I have been given with whoever would have it.  At the same time, one of the traditions of 12 step programs is that regarding anonymity at the level of press, radio, television, films, and now, I suppose, websites.  In order to honor that tradition, I won't publish details regarding my personal story here.

If, however, you'd like to talk, let me know.  There are lots of ways to do that.  It's your call by sending me an e-mail.  From there we have a lot of options.

I will say that I no longer drink after drinking for 32 years, plus or minus a year or two, and daily for at least the last five years.  Not only that, I'm happy about it and I don't even think about wanting a drink.  The obsession is gone.
