About Alcoholism

“I am a 75 year old man who is a poet, a painter, a novelist, a playwright, a chess player with an ‘expert’ rating, a low handicap golfer, and for 20 years the lead software engineer on a Top Secret satellite reconnaissance project for the U.S. Government.

My artistic endeavors include three novels, 210 Shakespearean sonnets, several screenplays, over 150 paintings, nine of which are currently on display at a prominent La Jolla gallery, and much more. All of my paintings and writings are for sale on request, but the purpose of this website is not self-promotion, but more importantly to provide the valuable insight I gained from a five year romantic relationship with an alcoholic / drug addict.”

Keith Angelin, who is featured on the home page, is a licensed, top-flight drug and alcohol counselor. I have worked with him for over two years, and without his steady guidance and insight, I would still be groveling in despair from my inability to deal with the profound emotional turmoil which the alcoholic brought into my life. I highly recommend him.”
