[QUOTE=BigBear57 Sorry if I seem a little short in my reply but bear in mind my Dad spent 20 years telling his story in AA helping people and this sort of hits home. I admire anyone who can step up and say I used to be a fuckup and now I'm better and I'd like to help those of you I can.[/QUOTE]

Well BigBear....don't put your father who beat his demons and then went about helping others by sharing with them on the same level as this guy. This guy is a fraud. Your Dad helped people with his actions, words and experiences. He performed selfless acts for his own reasons, not money and fame.
