“I fought the battle of the bottle for more than 30 years... My family didn’t want to be around me, because when I came to visit or they came by to see me, I was either drunk or drinking… I would sit in this old chair, drinking and watching television. This would go on for days, and finally when I would sober up, beside my chair was a big pile of beer cans and whiskey bottles. I would think . . . how can a man live like this?!”
