Sober 7 years since 10/26/13, Jim describes his story in a nut shell:
"I have a big inferiority complex. I started drinking in college to fit in. I drank too much for too long - I hurt myself mentally and I hurt myself physically. I knew I had a problem but I didn't know how to quit. It took Ridgeview [a local treatment facility] to show me how to quit and it took AA to show me there is life after alcohol."
