Sober 25 years since 3/3/1971, this recording comes highly recommended by Jim M who got sober in 1980 and knew Paul well.
Paul is funny, articulate and very active in AA.
He was born on a Reservation in South Dakota.
He did not finish the 8th grade and was kicked out of the Navy because he was a drunk.
He didn't think he belonged in AA because he was different; unique.
He tried many paths to sobriety and finally found a home in AA.
He got his last DUI after seven months without a drink.
What he got from sobriety he describes in one word - FREEDOM.
