Drug Courts : A New Approach to Treatment and Rehabilitation PDF
Edited by James E. Lessenger, Glade F. Roper
Description
I've done them all, and I'm not talking about stage, screen, and television.
I stopped taking drugs in the 1970s and stopped smoking in the 1980s.
I ceased drinking in the 1990s when I needed a liver transplant and my doctors told me they wouldn't do it if I continued drinking.
So, I stopped, got the transplant, and became a friend of Bill W.
Stopping was the best thing I ever did, second to marrying Maj.
My substance abuse started, like most people's, in high school through peer pressure.
It progressed while I was on the stage and in the Air Force, where alcohol was the drug of choice.
The problem continued as I worked in motion pictures where the day ended with drinks.
When I ? nally made it big in television, I was drinking a case of champagne a day.
I tell myself that I did this because of my insecurities about being at the top, but it also tasted good.
Looking back and having read some of the things in this book, I realize that I have the addictive personality and the genetic predisposition to be a substance abuser.
All that was necessary was a situation in which I was near drugs and had peer pressure to get me going.
