He burned through the Navy, the Merchant Marine, and a marriage before landing on a stranger's doorstep 1,200 miles from home. In AA he did all the right things for a year and a half - then a fellow member called him out, he cracked open the Big Book, and four days later his life was different. Jay P. from Myrtle Beach, SC at Northern Illinois Area Spring Conference - March 22nd 1997 Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
