Sorry, I only meant to hit the quote button.
I do like hearing about well known people who get into recovery. I find though that hearing live people share their ESH and make lovely lives in recovery are more inspirational.
One thing I would add to my earlier comments is that I haven't heard of an alcoholic moderating
