--- Prologue --- I include this picture for one reason: To show the sweetness, naivete, obvious shyness, and complete innocence that was me in 1965 when this picture was taken.
I was raised in a loving Christian home by parents who never had a drink in their lives; both of them abhorred alcohol. For me to have an addiction to alcohol was as inconceivable to them as it was to me, yet that was to become my life in ever-increasing degrees over the next 31 years.
The summer after this picture was taken, I had my first taste of "the Nectar of the Gods" and my life changed forever.
Fall down the rabbit hole and enter "Wonderland" to read my story.
