Introduction

Cavin: I have a very special, very unique friendship with a woman named jan warner that i met in a story tn class over a decade ago. Jan lost her amazing husband, arty, almost 12 years ago. Arti went from being a homeless alcoholic to becoming one of the pillars, one of the grand daddies of alcoholics,. anonymous in the united states. Both jan and artie's life stories are so full of surprises that it's no wonder arty's death hit jan so so hard. She would tell me about f attacks, about suicidal idiation, about her guilt about not having done this or said that.
