Mark shares a decades-long arc from early drinking through retail career moves, relapse after ~14 years dry, and eventual recovery that finally stuck once he embraced sponsorship, fellowship, and daily phone accountability. A big middle chapter covers his rare neurological condition, transverse myelitis—rapid onset paralysis, long rehab, and an eventual partial recovery—used to illustrate grit, perspective, and living life in the middle, not on emotional cliffs. The round table (Sloan, Ralph, Dwight) backs him up with specific ways community, service, routine, and a personal concept of a higher power turned “no hope” into workable tools.
