About

I don’t even know where to begin on this one! I’ll try and keep it short. I feel like I’ve already lived about 4 lives. I was born in Tucson, Az and 5 years into my sobriety found my biological mother, “Barbara Robinson”. Imagine with a name like that she wasn’t easy to find, but I was persistent and in the end after trying many things I found her by paying $10 for a search on www.peoplefinder.com and then sending a letter to the 12 or so addresses that came up. So I found out that my biological roots are German and Irish. Meanwhile I was raised in New York by two of the most incredible, loving parents I could ever have asked for. Barbara shared with me that all she ever wanted to know was that I had gone on to a good family and after meeting me she expressed that she was satisfied that this was accomplished. My family is Jewish and I was raised in what is considered to be a conservative Jewish home. This means we observed some aspects of the religion, but not all. All in all I am lucky to have been brought up in the environment I was in. I wanted for nothing and have lived all in all a pretty “privileged” life. Not that my parents are super wealthy or anything like that, but all our needs were met and then some.

Along the way I’ve had many interesting experiences and I am sure a lot of that will unfold as I progress on my journey in this very blog. For now let’s just leave it at this. I’ve reached a point in my life where things are really good and my life really just keeps getting better. I owe a lot of that to the people around me, whom I love. The people who have supported me, particularly over the past now 11+ years since I’ve been sober. This of course starts with my parents who showed me unconditional love – no matter what I did they have been there and continue to be there to catch my every fall. I don’t think I would have survived without them. Next of course is my incredible, loving, caring, compassionate wife who has taught me unconditional love of animals and humans – but mostly animals

There’s more but it’s late and I am tired. Time for bed..
