Bio
Former TV weatherman, copier salesman, mortgage seller (no, it's not my fault), shoe salesman, bartender, cloud-seeder, writer, blackjack/craps dealer. California kid or, as some like to say, 'Native Son of the Golden West.' Reared in bucolic Santa Rosa along the banks of the S.R. Creek and a walnut orchard that separated the crick from our house. I was on the high school swim team (not very good). I attended Santa Rosa Jr. College and Sonoma State until my education was interrupted by the draft. So it was the Air Force and eventually Penn State and a career in TV until that dissipated. Messed around with the above odd jobs ending with the blackjack thing and then now - edgy retirement.

Rehab

Rate: 4 Flag

    I've been in drug and alcohol rehab since the end of February, dealing with my latest relapse. This explains why I've been away from this blog for so long. I have very limited access to the internet, so this, and future entries, must be brief. Suffice it to say that this time, at this late date and late time in my life, I'm trying to do it right... I have 2 sponsors, am actively working the 12 steps, and hope to repair the damage I have done to my relationship with my three boys, especially Charlie, 21, and Thomas, 17. In previous attempts to clean up and stay that way I had not gotten a sponsor and had not dealt with a 12-step program in a serious way. I will try to write a bit on how it's all going from time to time. And I must say, it's nice to be back here once again, this time on a more or less permanent basis this time. Your support is certainly welcome here.

Bill, I will keep you in my prayers as you progress and heal yourself. As a Mom of a 22 year old alcoholic, I ask you to keep my son in your prayers. God bless you.
I'm so glad you updated us.
Thank you.
Bill, I just noticed that you and I share the same birthday!
Bill - we're rooting for you!!! ~r
Thanks so much everyone. I just have to deal with life a day at a time, and at times it's just a minute at a time. So far so good. I'm heartened by your kind thoughts.
Good luck to you!
Thanks Rick. I'm back home now and doing very well.
