We make choices, we cannot choose consequences. Richard Preston was born in Jacksonville, Florida. He introduced himself to alcohol at the tender age of 6. The progressive disease of alcoholism and drug addiction soon crippled his dreams and aspirations. The party would continue for over three decades. Richard captivates as he tells of his darkest moments and how he broke free from the chains of dependency.
At times we receive messages that defy explanation ... I finished Preston’s memoir today on a flight and, hungry when we landed, on the drive home we picked up Chinese ... my fortune cookie reads “Now is the time for SERENITY, a BOOK and a GOOD FRIEND” (the “good friend” in his memoir is none other than Jesus)!
