Description: Frank was born in a mental hospital, drank for 23 years to silence the feeling that he was an intruder in every room he walked into, and one hot day in June 1970 the words "Alcoholics Anonymous" entered his mind and he was able to act on them.

He never measured a drink, never counted a pill, and took Ritalin at cocktail parties to postpone blackouts so he could stay conscious a little longer. He changed jobs every 24 months when the lies caught up, ran from anyone who loved him, and treated his psyche like California fault lines — ignoring the pressure until something cracked. One June day in 1970 the words "Alcoholics Anonymous" came into his consciousness and somehow he was able to act on them. He's been sober ever since, and says he needs AA more today than when he walked in — not just to stay sober, but to stay emotionally sober, because he can't stay happy on yesterday's spiritual awakening. Frank M. from New York, NY speaking at Florida Roundup in Miami Beach, FL - March 18th-21st 1993 Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
