A successful Fortune 500 CEO and family man, Blanchard had a hidden secret - alcoholism. It became so severe that it landed him in jail, with three DUI arrests in as many months, and drove him close to suicide. His marriage was crumbling. Commitment to a psychiatric hospital, followed by a three-month stay at an Arizona rehab center that specializes in treating professionals — doctors, nurses, pilots and executives — began the turnaround for Blanchard.
Then he picked up the lens, taking prize winning photos.
The result is the award winning book, Through A Sober Lens that features both his photography and inspiration on how to overcome alcoholism with advice for others He has been described as the Ansel Adams of the Recovery World by Recovery Today Magazine.
