I had no idea about all this. He was brave to share his story. Restored my faith that some addicts can overcome their demons. Gotta give credit to his wife for sticking with him.
It’s been known since the 90s, there are several articles on it, most recently brought up in 2018 for his security clearance - not an issue, as a semi regular listener of his radio program, I didn’t know about this either.
I was surprised at his story. Not just surprised but thrilled. My son is 6 months clean and climbing up from the hole. What an example this man is.
