Many people who know me don't know me as Joe C, clean and sober since 1976. It's not that I am embarrassed by either addiction or recovery but it doesn't define me any more than being left-handed. Suffering through addiction and recovery has made me more compassionate and more reflective. Addiction was bewildering and recovery is a curious world, sometimes harsh, sometimes awesome.

Most people know don't know I'm an alcoholic/addict or in recovery. I am a dad, a songwriter, radio host, a financial planner, a runner, a ball player, billiard player, amateur social-psychology junky.

I'm a writer, too. Why did I write a book about addiction and recovery? Well, I wrote the only book I looked for and couldn't find. Otherwise I wouldn't have written it, I would have recommended it here to all of you.

It isn't the "As Joe Sees It" that we all laughed about when I comically took myself too seriously and thought people would be happy if they could just save time and see it my way. What the book is a report on what I have learned. I have done my 10,000 hours + of meetings, seminars, writing, sharing, conferences, reading and service. I don't suggest that this makes me an expert but I asked myself, "What are the 500 best ideas I have learned about addiction and recovery?" Those became 500 short essays, which got distilled down to the 365 most cohesive. That's what Beyond Belief is--plagiarism, with my own unique ADHD, dyslexic way of misunderstanding it.

It's not what I know; it's what I have learned. I am not saying, "this is how to ..." I am saying, "thank you. I am grateful for everything you've so generously shared with me."
