My brother died an alcoholic after many years of drinking...he started at age 18 and died at 62. Through-out the years he found AA and attended...would be sober for a long length of time. He’d get his act together and we would think he was on the path to recovery. Each time this happened he would end up back drinking....we decided that he just did not know how to handle success...didn’t know how to live a “normal” life and when he appeared to have it all he went back to the drink.
I only hope this Ted Williams will find support that he needs and finds a way to accept his good fortune...it doesn’t come around that often. And yes I know many who have successfully beaten the addiction but it is a tough battle so I hope he gets the needed help.........

I am sorry about your brother. Let’s both pray for Ted Williams and all those struggling with addiction.
