he knew was involved with Lawyers Concerned for
Lawyers. His name was John Rogers Carroll.3
I had never heard of Lawyers Concerned
for Lawyers (LCL) or John Carroll and I certainly
knew he had never heard of me. He asked Art
Donato if I was willing to go to a rehabilitation
facility for alcohol and drug addiction treatment.
I was broke and had no health insurance - how
could I possibly go anywhere for treatment? And
beside that monumental obstacle, what about my
practice - or what was left of it? What would my
clients and fellow lawyers think if that became
known? Both lawyers had the same responses -
First, "what makes you think those same people
don't already know you are an alcoholic and a
drug addict?" Second, "that wasn't the question
- are you willing to go to a treatment facility and
get help or not?"
Thus, began a relationship between LCL and
myself which continues to this day.
I wasn't sure what had happened - only that
with the help of LCL, a rehabilitation facility was
located in Harrisburg that accepted patients with
limited or no funds. They had a bed and I was
admitted on September 17, 2008. It was only later
in my recovery that I learned that my treatment
was paid in part by the M. Patricia Carroll Fund.4
I had never heard of LCL and I couldn't imagine
what they had done or why they had done it for
me, a total stranger. But I went into treatment and
did what I was told, though kicking and screaming
along the way.
A few days after I arrived, I was told I had a
visitor, which puzzled me since I had told no one
that I was there outside of my family. I went to
the cafeteria and saw a man whom I didn't know.
He told me his name was John D. and that he
was a volunteer with LCL. He told me what had
happened to him and that he knew how I felt.
After our visit he left and all I could think was -
"Who are these people?"
A week or so later I was told someone was
coming to pick me up to take me to a meeting
outside of the facility. Another LCL volunteer was
called on his way home from work and asked if
he would return to Harrisburg to pick me up and
take me to the LCL offices in Camp Hill, where a
recovery meeting was being held. As we drove
