"The man with the golden voice"

After reading articles and watching videos about Ted Williams The man with the golden voice, I started to think about the power of addiction. This is a very talented man with a seemingly gentle nature who could have been the most successful announcer or radio personality in the industry, but drugs and alcohol took that dream from him. In one of the videos he had gotten a second chance at making a life out of his talent, getting announcing opportunities and publicity .Slowly he succumbed to drugs and alcohol again, but fortunately he chose to get treatment and the saga continues. I do not have struggles with addiction, nor do I know anyone who does and the more i learn about it via this story or shows like Intervention, the more I wish that nobody has to experience that kind of demon. It trumps talent, it trumps family, addiction trumps all.
