About meI went to a party when I was eleven and didn't get back until I was forty five. I managed to put an end to more than thirty years of alcohol and drug addiction culminating with a stretch in the state prison system. Upon being released from the California Department of Corrections on Dec 3, 1989, my first life came to an end. During that first life, however, I did manage to raise a daughter. I have two grandkids, a boy and girl. Fortunately, my grandkids will never see me the way my daughter did. They'll never have to watch the police take me out of the house in handcuffs like my daughter did. They'll never have to control their behavior according to what drug I was taking like my daughter did. And they'll never have to endure being embarrassed in public like my daughter did. Fortunately I haven't taken a drink or put a needle in my arm since May 7, 1990 (my last relapse date), and for that I am most assuredly grateful. Check out my book trailer at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFhXHfFyA...
Also, here is a link to my YouTube video that offers a synopsis of my book, Scumbag Sewer Rats: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35q2qdy60...
About my libraryI am also interested in the American Civil War and have a library of more than 500 books on the subject, which can be found on my website.

Thank you for the friend invitation. I read Jung's comments again. I remember them from courses in Criminology and Pyschology. I totally agree with him.
Congratulations and as you know, one day at a time...
All the very best,

Thank you for your friends invite.
I found your video of your book interesting. Psychology is one of my favourite subjects and I have studied typology and archetypes which is a fascinating subject. Congrats on turning your life around.

Thank you for the friend request.
I enjoyed your book trailer as well as the introduction video that you have posted on your site. I found your Alchemy and the 12 Steps article fascinating.
I hope that when Frank and I open our center in Florida, you can come to lecture. We are all here to help each other.
Kindest Regards,
Judi

Thanks for the invitation to be friends.
I am also interested in the Civil War as I have lived down south since 1967. I lived in Macon, GA for 19 years, a city which was spared by Sherman on his march to the sea because he wanted to teach a lesson to Milledgeville 30 miles down the road. Some places it is like you can feel the regret of that horrible time in the land itself.
Your overcoming addiction is like a private civil war within yourself. Have had a similar war myself. It is never quite gone as the regret always remains.
Anyways, I am looking forward to getting to know you and learn from you.
God bless,
Constance

Thanks for the book recommendation.
About Manson: when asked, on interviews on YouTube, how he feels about himself, he answers “pretty good”. And he says he didn’t kill anyone, which probably is correct, and draws a circle around himself and says what other people have done is their business, not his responsibility. Your answer about Manson is clear to me, you think he deserves his punishment and I agree with that.
Regards,
Richard

Thanks for the friend request.
I looked at your library but see no ratings of books. Which book by James Hillman would you recommend? I have to admit I never heard of him, but I intend to fill that gap in my knowledge.
I checked out your website. There is a lot of text, I only read your biography. I have a rather strange question for you: with your specific knowledge and experience, what do you think of Charles Manson? I would be interested to know your opinion.
Regards,
Richard
