He grew up scared in a big Irish Catholic family, joined the Marines at 113 pounds, and drank his way through every opportunity he touched until he ended up on Skid Row in Washington D.C. with nothing left. An old man at the door of his first meeting promised he'd never have to drink again, and Keith took that promise and ran — through a disastrous first 12-step call, a sponsor who sent him to Paris at seven months sober, and a lipstick message on a bathroom mirror that changed his life. Today he carries Sister Victoria's prophecy from high school detention — that he'd go around the world telling God's children how much he loves them — and a 23-year chip buried with his mother. Keith L. from Wilmington, NC - 23rd Annual San Diego Spring Roundup in San Diego, CA - April 22nd 2000 Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
