The Loneliness of Living With People and Not Being Able to Communicate – Hector E.
About This Speaker Tape
Dirt floors, no running water, and a mother who chained him to a sewing machine. Hector E. grew up in Argentina feeling like a piece of garbage, a "sick symbol" who dreamed of killing his father with a dull razor blade.
He chased the American dream to New York and Hollywood, thinking a three-piece Brooks Brothers suit, a Broadway Tony, and a yellow Mercedes would fix his insides. He lived as a "huge ball of fear covered in human skin," filling the void with Sangria and Coke and a string of suicide attempts. The wreckage peaked on a movie set in Tucson, where he shot himself in the leg with a blank.
After three days in a coma, he woke up tied down in the ICU, broken and bankrupt of spirit. He discovered that no material solution could solve a spiritual problem. Now, he views the program as a "mafia of love," using the steps as tools to plug himself into a Higher Power.
