I'm too sick to get a gun and blow my head off. I'm out and I was living with this lady and my son was there and my other daughter was living with her mom and I took all these pills and I went into a blackout for Three Days and I was hanging on the stop sign on the corner of parkwood in Colorado, Pasadena, one block east of allen, on the north side- I know where that's at- and my lady's barber's husband came around the corner and says: you poor devil, get in a car, I'll take you home.
Have you ever wondered what it takes to stay sober for nearly fifty years? Meet Les A, a man who has navigated the turbulent waters of addiction and emerged stronger, wiser, and more transparent.
