Bob’s major use of drugs and alcohol stared after high school, following a bad breakup.  Bob incidentally was taken to a twelve-step meeting which brought him into two years of sobriety, though it ended when he toasted his brother at his wedding.  Years later, he wound up in jail.  Bob was not only an addict, but a serial abuser of his wife and kids.  And in jail, under physical threat by the other inmates, he decided to get sober for good.
