I was powerless over alcohol... I heard a lot about fear when I started getting sober and then I thought: well, I don't know, I'm not afraid of anything, you know, to me, fear was fear of snakes, fear of water, fear of getting drafted into the military. I was afraid of trying anything that I really wanted to do...
Jamie’s tale begins in a small Texan town, where the allure of alcohol first caught his eye. Picture this: Jamie, a young gay man, sipping martinis at the Waldorf Astoria, feeling on top of the world. But as many know, the glitz and glamour can quickly fade.
