I can't believe there are no comments here. Great essay. I was so stoked to see the name of my favorite musician attached to one of my favorite newsletters. I too gain strength from Berman's words. I think a lot of people do. There's a letter he wrote to a fan about recovery and what it requires. He was a very generous guy. There's a (controversial) article about the last days of his life that I won't link here, but in it, someone he's hanging out with says they are heading to a meeting and Berman is quoted as saying "carry the message." I think of that often. Anyway, I love him and all his work so much. Thanks for this. P.S. He did keep a blog: https://mentholmountains.blogspot.com/

David ‘s voice was in my ear for the hardest drinking and using days of my life. Then I got sober too. I loved him so and hate we lost him.
