Craig Graham is an acknowledged recovering alcoholic. Craig represents thousands of people in our respective communities who, by some circumstance, become depressed or just don't know how to say no to peer pressure. Often feeling hopeless, the quick escape choice to kill the "pain" easily morphs into entrapment. Many become hopelessly hooked "closet addicts" not yet desperate enough to seek help. Too often it takes a shocking jolt such as a near death experience, a broken relationship or incarceration to reach the teachable moment of truth and the first step toward recovery---the commitment to change and find the support people and place to do it. This author has personally learned much from Craig, through his recovery over the past five years, about addicts and addiction along with some of what it takes to be set free from its bondage. [More]
