Why do I continue to chronicle the journey of Ted Williams? Because I think he's a real sign of what so many are going through right now. Down on his luck, with a substance abuse problem that killed his career and separated him from his family, Ted's star is finally rising. Those who know the road to recovery will understand the bumpy ride and false starts. There is no smooth progression to cured. Still, after having lost it all Ted is giving it a hell of a go, and I want to see him make it.
There was some sort of disagreement with his daughter, and police were called because they were yelling. Williams was detained for minutes, as was his daughter, and police said there were no signs of physical contact. Fair enough, a little yelling works sometimes. The police said the problem was "minor" and dismissed the spat. Going through all of this under a microscope won't make it easy, but so far the family has held up under the intrusion.
After appearing on Dr. Phil, Ted has decided to enter rehab to fight his dependency and put his life back together again. There is no guarantee of success, but with all my heart I hope this sticks and that all this good karma is not wasted. Like so many people out there, there is a huge talent wrapped in a sad story. I'll keep this up as long as they release updates.
Good luck, Ted.
