Yes Aloka... our founder, Taizan Maetzumi Roshi, was also an alcoholic. His teachings are truthfull and encouraging. Very strict he develop the hablilty to join Rinzai and Soto traditions. Very strict in zazen poture.

I want to share this personal opinion: I feel comfortable and confident with a teacher or an ancestor that has gone through hard moments and has overcome them in some way that with somebody that has not know hard moments.
