I know what it's like to be half alive and not even realize it. Or if I ever got a "moment of clarity", it didn't last long enough for me to do something about it. It took a wake-up call of losing my family and my home being in foreclosure for me to finally realize it wasn't just a little drinking problem and I wasn't hurting anyone but myself for me to finally do something about it. I soon realized it wasn't going to be easy but in essence, I was saving my life and that's what kept me going when I wanted to just give up and go back to drinking many times in the beginning. More than half my life was over. I was 45 when I got sober for the last time. By then, the losses were piling up and my achievements were a distant memory. I saw people losing their lives because they couldn't get sober and since no one's ever come back from the dead to tell us how good it is on the other side, I decided to save my life and see what that had to offer. I had many goals growing up but being an alcoholic wasn't one of them but that was where drinking took me. I finally accepted, "once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic" and decided to do something because wishing myself sober wasn't going to work. I share what I learned with anyone who wanted help and go to any length in order to do so. It keeps me humble and reminds me the disease hasn't changed. No matter how much time I get in sobriety, if I pick up a drink, it's all over and I'm right back where I started. I didn't get in trouble every time I drank but every time I got in trouble, I was drinking. It was time to finally achieve some goals and get back into life. AA saved my life. I was told I can't keep it unless I give it away so I decided to share my experience, strength & hope to anyone who wants to listen. You can't make someone get sober, it's a program of attraction and that's the purpose here. If you can honestly identify with anything in my book, you just might be one of us. I strongly suggest you do something about it because it just might save your life.

I have many memories of growing up in Campbell's Hotel, Dungloe. Some are of incidents that occurred in 1938 when I was only four years old; others are of events that happened during my teenage years.These are memories involving my family, my friends, and of the people who lived in Dungloe and in the surrounding areas.My memory is, of course, very selective. Only the incidents that have made an indelible impression on me are recalled, and the more intense the emotional experience at the time of the incident the more vivid and long-lasting is the recollection of that experience.I remember very little about the years prior to my fourth birthday, but have very clear memories of incidents and people in the years afterward.This is a collection of these memories.

In 1845, Templecrone Parish, in northwest Donegal, was inhabited by a population that relied almost entirely on the potato as a sole source of nourishment. The parish comprised more than 50,000 acres of bogs, lakes and boulder-strewn mountains, and its rugged coastline was defended by a string of islands that were heavily populated.The parish suffered heavy casualties from hunger, disease, stress and inclement weather from 1845 to 1849, and beginning in 1850, many of the survivors led to Canada and the United States, never to return. If not for the aid provided by the Quakers, the British Association, the Belfast Ladies Association, the local clergy, and the resident landlord, Francis Forster, there would have been few survivors. During the famine years, the British Government provided no aid to Templecrone, even though its representatives in Dublin were well aware of the tragedy taking place in the parish.
