A topic talk about emotions, alcoholism, and recovery. Emotions are a thing we all have most of and know little about. I'm going to talk not about love but the negative feelings; my message on them is a simple one: Handle them or they will handle you.

A. A. Gill's memoir begins in the dark of a dormitory with six strangers.

Lacerating, unflinching, uplifting, it is a classic about drunken abandon. Read by Dougray Scott.

Standing in the middle of a windy cobblestone street in Old Town Cadiz, he wondered what the hell just happened - not just in that moment, but the 40 years prior.

Thirty-eight years ago I wrote "Drink, Drank, Drunk", a series of six articles for the Milwaukee Journal in which I used my personal experience with booze, along with pointing out the stranglehold the beer/booze industry has on our society. Incredibly, a recent review of those articles leads to the inevitable and unfortunate conclusion that with only minor changes for updating statistics, they could have been written yesterday. Never in my many years of practicing journalism have I ever experienced the kind of reader response "Drink, Drank, Drunk" generated.
