    My first job in healthcare was in a veterans hospital. There were so many alcohol dependent residents that there was a pub in the basement to dispense the “medicine” and not stigmatize the residents. There was beer on the med carts for those with limited mobility.

      My business partner from a past business was a former marine who had been through AA and was/is a sponsor. Every time one of his buddies would come in I’d ask if he knew him from the marines or from AA and the answer was always both.
