It's mine. As a recovering alcoholic the AA program stress's personal anonymity at the level of press, radio and film. It reminds one to place principles over personalities.

Make it easy on yourself. Just take it a day at a time. That’s all, just 24 hours. I’ve been doing it that way for 32 years now.

I’m scheduled for hip replacement, had an epi injection and my muscles are healing...

Good for him to share his story and warn others about the dangers. I’m sure this wasn’t easy to do.

He was getting paid 1 million dollars per episode for the tv show Friends (plus syndication royalties on top of that). So, it cost him only 9 out of 230+ episodes.

“At the same time you want to support a course correction particularly if it’s a healthy lifestyle choice. I think we’re making a mistake by not praising doing the right thing more. If all the attention goes toward negativity, what message does that send?”

It can get that way and it is once I figure out the next drink leads to hitting the brick wall.

It is just a one day at a time one minute at a time proposition.

I saw a buddy of mine at work this morning and he gave me the “One Day At A Time” encouragement holding my arm.

Hes probably still filthy rich but the point is money, fame, a career isnt everything. There are other forces at play in everyones life. Who knows what his are.

The secret is to balance your heroin use with meth so that you don’t feel the need to eat.

TV and the movies show drugs and alcohol use being the cool thing to do. You can see photos galore of people passed out in the street or at home on the couch showing otherwise or looking like death warmed over.
