I hate to burst everyone’s bubble, but Ted will be back out on the streets after he heals up a bit and makes a little money. They he will turn back to the live he likes: the life of a bum.

I know this from years of experience.

You would have gotten a kick out of the conversation they had on this very subject this morning on Don Imus' radio show. Imus himself is a recovered drug addict and alcoholic.

One of Imus' associates pointed out that this Ted Williams guy said he developed a keen interest in cultivating his "on-air voice" back in the 1970s after listening to a prominent (unnamed) New York radio personality back then. Imus' sidekick said:

"First he got hooked on a radio voice, then he ended up getting into the drugs and booze . . . sounds like you inspired him in so many ways!"

Possibly . . . But not if he keeps first things first!

I know that from years of experience . . .

Let’s pray that he doesn’t blow his second chance. My brother was also in the same boat about 17 years ago (no children or wives or anything like that). He was selling and using, went to prison for about 7 months. He got out, struggled to get clean and has been clean ever since. He is married, owns a nice home, works as a sound and light engineer. He has worked for the Travel Channel, ESPN, he worked on the “Deadliest Catch” reunion show and many other productions. He even worked on the Gore/Bush debate. My point is...it is possible, with help, to stay on the straight and narrow. Ted needs to make sure he stays hooked up with his AA and NA sponsors.
