Fellowship Hall is a premier recovery center located in Greensboro, North Carolina. For over forty years, it has offered an excellent program of recovery to men and women who, with God's help, truly want to live their lives anew. Not only is Fellowship Hall blessed with a 120-acre campus and fine facilities, its staff members are as good as any in serving those beginning lives of recovery.

At Fellowship Hall, there is one staff member who knows the Big Book inside and out. He eats, breaths, and sleeps what it says. He lives as if his life depends of recovery, which, of course, it does. Each time I hear him speak, I am reminded of much I have forgotten over the years. He keeps it simple, brutally honest, and real. It is not all pretty, neat or tidy, but he can't afford the luxury of appearance. “This disease will kill ya’,” he often reminds, then proceeds to speak of the jagged landscape of sober living.

He is one of the giants of recovery for me, someone I feel blessed to know. I am so glad he is on the staff of Fellowship Hall. He washing dishes.
