Hunter Biden

Well, you know, the JBC, I was JBC for a year after, after college.

And, um, and then I went to Yale law school, you know, was married, had, um, um, my, my oldest daughter when I was a first year law student and made it through all of that and made it through my, um, first year's employment drinking probably more than everybody, uh, than, than most people do, but completely functional.

And one day I woke up when I was 33 years old to my brother calling me and say, this has got to stop.

but you got to stop.

And, um, and, and what he meant was, is that, you know, like a whole weekend was missing kind of.

And, um, and I, and I said, okay.

And he drove me to the airport and, uh, he put me on a plane in New York and I flew to a place that was started by Eric Clapton called, uh, uh,

uh, crossroads in Antigua.

And I went to rehab and I came out and I, and I went, went, directly when I came out, my brother picked me up from the airport, drove me to an AA meeting, walked in with me, DuPont Circle in, in, uh, DC.

I met my sponsor at that first meeting that I ever went to.

And, and I stayed clean and sober for, um, for about seven years.

And, uh,

And then I relapsed.

And it was just such a mundane, stupid story.

I was on a plane by myself.

Everything was okay.

Things were looking up.

It was, you know...

you know, normal life pressures, but it was all good.

And that's the real insidious thing about addiction and alcoholism.
