Acting Your Way Into a New Way of Thinking – John S.
About This Speaker Tape
A Ford Fairlane a Fender Stratocaster and a black leather jacket with studs—the costume of a nineteen-year-old who thought he had arrived. John S. spent decades playing a double life drifting from honors student to insurance underwriter all while mastering 'utility roulette' to keep the lights on.
The wreckage peaked in 1996 with a house full of pizza boxes and beer cans and a boss who finally handed him the file. After a failed attempt at outpatient treatment and a brutal wake-up call from a counselor who told him his life was in shambles he stopped fighting the current. He learned to be a son and a brother by copying the people in the rooms trading the pride of the 'double life' for the simple gritty work of calling his sponsor every night for a year even when they only talked about the Browns.
