Chuck describes himself as the poster boy of high functioning alcoholism.  He used drugs and alcohol to get himself through his day to day routine.  It wasn't until Chuck was faced with the prospect of a stint in jail after failing his interlock breathalyzer for the second time that he recognized he wasn't going to be able to cheat his way through the system.  Chuck now fills a leadership role within a local AA meeting where he mentors individuals mandated to attend meetings.  Chuck enjoys a glass of wine here and there with his wife.  He has been clean from drugs for 12 years.  Way to go, Chuck!  Listen to his story now!
