Columnist: Sobriety won’t wreck my acerbic view of life

Chicago Sun-Times | Chicago Tribune
Sun-Times columnist Neil Steinberg is back to work after his domestic abuse arrest and 28 days in rehab. “I don’t plan to revisit this subject too often, nor become some cardigan-wearing Stuart Smalley figure spouting the cliches of recovery,” he writes. “Some readers expressed concern that sobriety will wreck my acerbic view of life. Fat chance. Having your beloved crutch kicked away before being dragged backward by your heels through hell is not an experience designed to make one giddy at life’s rich pageant.” | What Tribune readers say about Steinberg’s return.
