I've never written about being an alcoholic (though if you've seen me drink this will not come as a shock). I was quiet in part because of embarrassment, and in part because I didn’t think I had much to add to the great writing out there about the disease.

Then this not-quite-tarot deck came into my life, and I just had to share my experience. Friends and mentors also helped me realize that by keeping my drinking life out of my writing life I was allowing alcoholic thinking to lurk in the warm, silent dark.

I never would have found help if I hadn’t had openly alcoholic friends to reach out to for guidance. So consider me open (though I’m very much a work in progress), and please read this essay if you get a minute.
