Step 3 Hit When He Surrendered the Intellectual Mountain – Art S.
About This Speaker Tape
other -
A floor in a Santa Fe office became Art S.'s final resting place before sobriety living there because his wife had divorced him and his landlord was too preoccupied with Army affairs in Sacramento to evict him. He describes a triple addiction—alcohol Benzedrine and sleeping pills—and a miraculous intervention by a stranger from Kansas City who lied about having an extra bed just to get Art S. into a safe space. Art S. details his transition from a public accountant with no clients to a civic leader who bulldozed a state commission on alcoholism into existence through a series of improbable legislative victories. He emphasizes the 'meat' of the Big Book on pages 22 and 23 arguing that the only way to survive the wreckage of a professional and personal collapse is to surrender the intellectual mountain and rely on a Higher Power for concrete direction in business and life.
