This is a true story of one man's life under the constant influence of alcohol. At a very early age Michael D. Walters was introduced to alcohol. His sense of identity, ideas about life, decisions and reactions to people and events all sprang from this less-than-healthy beginning, in an environment that generally saw nothing wrong with regular contact with alcohol. Growing up around a collection of hard-working and indulgent individuals, Michael himself became well known in the restaurant industry as an efficient and hard worker. However, drinking was also a constant companion in his life and the lives of many who raised him so it was quite difficult to see it as a problem. This perspective is actually at odds with Michael's many alcohol related mishaps, accidents and bad decision-making, including a previous prison sentence in the State of Kentucky. But, when you are clean and well dressed, paying the bills, a sought after cook, very decent chess player and the life of the party how do you frown upon your constant companion? Life in 90 Seconds highlights just how easy it is to live with such a glaring blind-spot, even courting it, persistently rationalizing its place in your life. The destructive force of alcoholism plays out in many ways: from straining marital and family relationships, to self-destruction, to property destruction, to vehicular homicides, to constant appearances in court, to bar fights that turn to sudden rage and death. Anyone who has had even casual exposure to the realities of alcoholism knows its truth. life in 90 Seconds is a story of how easy it is to deceive ourselves into believing we can live with that truth.
