Ya Doug - wishing you the best. Rack up each day one at a time ! Best to you

Hang in there doug714.

Just to let everyone know, what we now refer to as the Wall Of Sound during the time of it`s use it was not called the Wall Of Sound that name came several years later and at a time that i was no longer involved with the band and was starting my own speaker company.

Reading thru the contributions here has brought back a lot of things that i have not thought about in decades but as with anything on the net believe about half of it, i know i was there and touched and built the equipment what is seen in one photo or video does not mean it was always that way or some writer decades later relying on second and third hand information but nowadays that can make someone an expert.

Yep, as Tomic stated, just take one day at a time. Not two, not three, just get through today.

24 years clean and sober here, and that is exactly how it is done. And don’t try and do it all by yourself. 👍🏼

my memory is that there are some good historical inputs on the Alembic corporate history page, will look at my notes later..but try to google that

doug714,
Hi,
I just saw your post, or I would have responded earlier. I completely understand where you are. I went through 5 years of dependence on cocaine ("crush" my brother and I called it) after the loss of my mother and a friend, and I was happy to come out alive and happy on the other side.
Looking back now, I realize that there are so many people having problems with drugs that are not obvious street corner addicts. I was working the entire time, completely dependable, but doing coke secretly throughout the workday, and no one knew.
Best of luck in your recovery. If I can, you can.
