      Darryl E. Pittman, for respondent.
   Per Curiam.

We concur in the board’s findings and recommendation as modified. Accordingly, we suspend respondent from the practice of law for two years; however, the final eighteen months of that suspension are stayed and respondent is to be placed on monitored probation under the following conditions effective during suspension and probation: that respondent enter into counseling programs for his alcohol dependence and emotional problems with an agency or agencies acceptable to relators; that he attend such counseling programs on a regular basis, with compliance to be verified by relators; and that he make complete restitution to his clients during the first twelve months of the eighteen-month probationary period. Costs taxed to respondent.

Judgment accordingly.

Moyer, C.J.,

dissents and would suspend respondent from the practice of law for eighteen months, but would stay the suspension and place respondent on probation.
