But, in my opinion, when addicts in the public eye, live healthy and productive lives, it shows society that we can recover and we can succeed. It's a positive thing and maybe helps to alleviate some of the stigma attached to alcoholism.
I agree. Last night I was watching 'American Dream' on CNBC. Prolly the ONLY one watching.. lol Anyway businessman Red McCombs says he has been sober since 1977. I enjoyed his story exept for the part where he said all addicts are liar's, cheats & theives.
