This second half—or part two—of my memoir picks up exactly where part one leaves off. It takes place from 2000 to 2022, and details the struggles that I had and still have here in Thailand with substance abuse—including becoming a full fledged meth addict in addition to my alcoholism, which had been under control from 1985 until 2000 when I started drinking again in a go-go bar in Bangkok one night when free shots of tequila were being passed around.

So I found myself with a brand new drug addiction in addition to my out of control drinking, and for 20 years I experienced nothing but utter chaos in Thailand, including being jailed five times. I was really living the life of a drug addict associating with Thai drug addicts only, and while I was hell bent on destroying myself, I was also fighting like hell to save my life by going to Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholic Anonymous meetings while living in Pattaya, Thailand, which is known for it's decadence with bars and sex everywhere, and I almost succeeded in that destruction of myself were it not for those dynamite programs of recovery.

Anyway, long story short, I'm still living here in Pattaya and am still in that same struggle and always will be, and as of today I am clean and sober for 8 months and I am living by the motto's "Just for today." as they say in NA and "One day at a time." as they say in AA.
