Bush reflects on struggle with alcohol

 I do not know if I believe this man gave up drinking at the age of 40.  I have seen this dude on television, and I really believe he is still “boozing” it.  But, whatever, if he wants to tell people he is sober, I guess he has to right to do that.

Bush reflected on his own addiction to alcohol. WASHINGTON (CNN) – President Bush reflected on his own struggle with alcohol in a White House meeting today to tout gains in the war on drug abuse.

CNN was the only media outlet invited to attend the entire meeting, which other reporters joined in the final minutes for remarks from the president.

Several in the room, including Don Coyhis of Colorado Springs, Colorado who runs a program targeting Native Americans battling substance abuse, were recovered addicts or alcoholics.

Bush, who quit drinking at the age of 40, was impressed.

“Congratulations on thirty years of sobriety,” the president told Coyhis. “I’m eight years behind you.”
