About Me

I'm 70 years old, with five children, and 6 grandchildren. I have a son who is a freshman in college (a surprise gift to my wife and me 19 years ago). I still work full time at a private Jesuit college in charge of their drug and alcohol education and support services. I practiced law for 12 years; have been an addictions counselor for the past 28 years; and am in recovery myself from alcoholism and sedative addiction with over 30 years of continuous abstinence. I recently started an online addictions counseling service hoping that I can make some money to help me when I retire in a few years

Interests:
Helping others with drug or alcohol problems is my vocation and avocation

Hi Jan, my partner's name is Jan also. I am a recovering alcoholic who has been sober 4years and 6 months. I am working a program. I am in AA and have a sponser. AA is the best thing that ever happened to me. When I started reading the Big Book everything made sense. My life has changed so much for the better. Anyway glad to meet you. Samie
