Steven J. was my A.A. sponsor for 14 years. He overcame a 25-year addiction and now walked with alcoholics through their own recovery. He brought self-confirmed alcoholics to A.A. meetings or brought meetings to them in hospitals. Often he just listened.
Our relationship became a close, long friendship. We shared a passion for photography, and when he retired from Georgetown University Library after 20 years, he began photographing beautiful floral portraits, some of which were purchased by the District of Columbia, others licensed by Getty Images. When I was interning at a NY photo agency, I sold all of my photo gear to afford living in NY. Steven gave me one of his Nikons and a lens and reminded me to “keep your eyes on the prize.”
