Merchantville resident Bill Rube is a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. He's been involved with horses his whole life.In this article for The Chronicle of the Horse magazine Bill shares his personal journey. "One of the big phrases you hear in recovery is that you must avoid people, places and things associated with alcohol and drugs in order to avoid relapsing, and for a long time I had to step away from the animals and world I loved in order to focus on my sobriety. Getting sober is never easy, and leaving the horse world isn’t either, but it’s the best thing I ever did, and eventually I found my way back."
