Becoming Smaller Until Only a Higher Power Remains – Sandy B.
About This Speaker Tape
Gopher State Roundup - 2001
The high-altitude ego of a Marine fighter pilot eventually crashed into a nut ward for Sandy B. He dismantles the illusion of the 'big shot,' tracing his path from the cockpit to a state of 'undisturbedness.' Sandy describes the wreckage of his drinking—the paranoia the physical collapse and the heartbreak of a mother who only smiled when he finally showed up sober. He argues that sobriety isn't about acquiring new traits but about discarding the garbage of the self until one becomes a 'servant.' Through stories of a cramped airplane seat and a long-overdue debt to a former drinking buddy he makes the case that the only way to find peace is to stop trying to get one's own way and instead become a channel for a Higher Power.
