Doug, I was at the recent drug court conference in St. Louis and had the opportunity to hear you share along with Elliot Easton. I heard you say you were a bit wondrous as to why the conference would ask you to speak there and proceeded to offer needed jewels of your experience, strength and hope, in a way that was valuable. While drug court is a great alternative to incarceration, many good hearted helping people are making addiction and recovery into something it's not based upon addicts and alcoholics dishonesty. Because the client isnt' ready or willing to get clean and sober, they are dishonest and the drug court teams think they are mental health patients instead. Anyways, you and Elliot were the highlight of the training for me. My husband's a musician and in recovery from heroin addiction. I'm in recovery from lots of stuff 21 years now. So, congrats on the good work, and I am so glad you and Eliott spoke. You should check out my husbands myspace at KL Williams and Rebel Soul. All recovery oriented gospel blues stuff. Again, thanks for sharing your stuff with all of us. Take care! Dawn
