Samuel spent time as a nuclear submarine power officer after his tour in Vietnam.
His drinking was up and down for years.
He crossed the line into full blown alcoholism when he retired from the Navy after a family tragedy, found great success in business, a very large expense account and a big reason to drink.
His wealth and success dissolved into a vodka bottle.
His brother got sober first and performed the perfect 12th Step two years before Samuel came into AA and finally let God into his life.
"I was transformed."
He was called Sam before that, but now calls himself Samuel.
