Beckett’s somewhere in Colorado and Bailey

Addiction can be genetic. Did you worry
any of them might follow in your path?
They all apparently learned from my
mistakes, because none of them are
interested in hard drugs. I think they saw
what happened and have avoided it, which
certainly is a wonderful thing.

Do you know why you survived?
I think a lot of it has to do with the French
code of raison d’être — it means “reason for
being.” A lot of people don’t have a really
good, strong reason that they believe in for
their life to go forward. Me, I do. I’ve got a
wife I love and a family that I love and a job
that I love. So I had every reason on Earth to
beat the dope and get to here. — Reporting by
Amanda Champagne- Meadows

“I’m old and creaky,

but I’m OK for what

I’m doing and grateful

when I wake up!”
