This is going to go exactly how you think it will … more or less.

My name is Jesse and I’m an alcoholic. I’m also an attorney. The story told here is about me. Not about my accomplishments (few), but about my mistakes (many). I’ve told this story many times in community center basements, church recreation halls, and all the common rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous. As of the date of this article, I haven’t had a drop of alcohol in 4,153 days. I guess when they say “one day at a time,” they mean it.
