  He’s so right—taking that first step, walking into that first meeting, is so freaking hard.  I remember mine:  I walked back and forth in front of that door probably a dozen times.  Finally, I put thought out of my head, grabbed the handle, walked in and sat down.  5 minutes later, I knew I was where I needed to be.  It doesn’t have to be a big clinic.  It can be the YMCA or the corner church.  Just take that first step.  I was the sorriest drunk out there, beyond hope, I thought, but here I am 7 years later still sober.  You can make it, too…

  Johnny Cash had an unique voice; not just when he sang, but also when he was <br>just talking - he will always be missed.

  This man was tough, sensitive, polished, raw,<br>funny, serious, wise, foolish, simple and a &nbsp;superstar. He hung with Kings and yet was a man of the people. He loved his country but recognized its wrongs. Take all that away and you still have one hell of an entertainer.<br>There will be no other Man in Black

  Hearing the story of him crawling in that cave, at a time when I was desperately searching for pills, crying, sick as a dog…..it changed my life. Took me a while after to get clean but I’ve been clean for 7 years now. No opiates nothing. God bless him.

  What a great interview. I&apos;m 52 and just started too understand and respect this man. Not for his fame and great body of work, But for being a real,honest, good person who has as many flaws as you or I. A treasure has been lost.

  He had that deep voice that we all could just sit and just listen for hours. &nbsp;Loved his music.
