Dogpatch a Place I Remember

Many fine people deserve thanks for helping me along my early recovery journey. They include: Tim Tolber, John Tolber and John Tolbert, Rene Bacon, Johanna Hart, Reverend Lloyd White, Jerry Seaman, Indian Joe, Dick Benjamin, Arlene Thompson, John Glenn, Father Rod Sullivan, Lew Dewein, and Cindy Gornick.
Many others boosted me along the way during my later recovery years, almost too many to mention. If you do not see your name here, it's not a sign of my not appreciating you. I have come to appreciate all humankind and am very grateful for all the help and support received from others along my path.
Journal writing, poetry and creative writing have also served as guides. A big thank-you to my Muse and to the God of my understanding. Writing has allowed me freedom to explore, express, reveal and heal.
