Maybe a stay at Schick Shadel will help. Hey, Pat O’Day wouldn’t lie, would he?
Free Air – when I worked at the prison in Aberdeen, I met a man serving five years for felony DUI. He was kind, intelligent and very involved in the prison recovery community. Yet, he told me, he had not idea if he could stay sober “on the outs”. When I asked why, he said – “because I never have before, and I’ve tried… really, really tried.”
I wish we had better interventions than just talk therapy… an inoculation or something like insulin to assist the treatments available.

A felony DUI. WOW That takes some serious commitment to get that many DUI’s!
Hope he uses his time to dry out forever before he kills someone.
