Doc D is a clean and sober, gay, polyamorous man who will celebrate 33 years of continuous sobriety on 20 May, 2021, HP willing. 

He works with sponsees, a sponsor, and is of service in and out of meetings. He knows that program and he treasures his recovery.

He is a practitioner of Body Suspension to enhance his Spiritual life.

Body suspension entails "hanging the human body from (or partially from) hooks pierced through the flesh in various places around the body." It is one form of  body modification , which includes tattooing, piercing, scarification, gauging (expanding holes in the earlobes to acommodate increasingly larger rings), subdermal implantation (insertion of objects under the skin such as beads, crosses and horns), nipple and tongue splitting, body branding, ear-shaping...breast implantation, hair replacement and bodybuilding.

With regard to body suspension, those at suspension.org offer a variety of explanations for its appeal. They note, "There are many different reasons to suspend, from pure adrenaline or endorphin rush, to conquering ones fears, to trying to reach a new level of spiritual consciousness and everything in between. In general, people suspend to attain some sort of "experience. Some people are seeking the opportunity to discover a deeper sense of themself and to challenge pre-determined belief systems which may not be true. Some are seeking a right of passage or a spiritual encounter to let go of the fear of not being whole or complete inside their body. Others are looking for control over their body, or seek to prove to themselves that they are more than their bodies, or are not their bodies at all. Others simply seek to explore the unknown.
