At age thirteen, I had my first drink. My high school years were full of fun, friends, success in athletics and respect. I drank. In my twenties and thirties, I owned an advertising agency, a catering business, a used car dealership, acquired my pilot’s license, a thirty foot Winnebago, sail boats, a home, a wife, and three kids. I drank more. In my forties, I lost my advertising business, my catering business, my car business, my pilot’s license, my driver’s license and got my first DUI. I drank more even after admitting I was an alcoholic. My early fifties found me becoming general manager and Vice President of a multi-million dollar manufacturing company. My drinking increased from alcoholism to addiction. At age fifty-five I was cuffed and shackled in a caged bus to two years in prison with a felony 5 DUI record. My wife filed for divorce, I lost my job and lost my financial security through bad investments and legal fees. I found the exit off this road to destruction. At fifty-seven I am happy, spiritual, sober, believing in myself again and blessed with the return of my family, my home and my dreams. Get in and ride with me on my journey to sobriety and salvation.
