The answer to my dilemma came with sudden swiftness. It was Saturday night and we were having dinner with some friends. We arrived early and I was heading to the bar for a drink before dinner; instead I was escorted into the hotel coffee shop.
Chapter 20: Intervention
“The coffee shop was deserted except for four men sitting at a table in the corner. One man was Bill Gibbs my former law partner. Another man was Edwin (Ed) Train Caldwell, a trial lawyer I knew from San Francisco. Burke M. Critchfield was also there. He was a lawyer in the Pleasanton-Livermore area. I approached the table with a sense of confusion and rising concern.
Liz turned to me. She looked serious as she said “Gary these men want to talk to you about drinking.” I was puzzled and asked “So do you want to have a drink?” But they were not here for a drink. That wasn’t what this was about.”
It was something that I had never heard of: an intervention. The video tells the rest:
