Ex-Political official helping others kick substance abuse
" I was a product of alcohol and disease, and I would do anything to make a buck" states Bill Brown after 18 years of sobriety.
After a strenuous ordeal in Washington D.C. during the Nixon era, 2 heart attacks, and waking with voices in his head this ex-politition decided he had had enough and got help ~at that time he was diagnosed as an alcoholic. Brown spent some time at an Arizona addiction center and then worked as a busboy at the Katz Delicatessen in Phoenix making $3.85 an hour, where Brown says " I was never happier in my life.
