About This Speaker Tape

Southern Minnesota Roundup - 2017

John K. traces a jagged line from a high-performing youth to a total collapse in the gutters of Dallas and San Juan. He describes a decade of 'magical' drinking that eventually devolved into violent DTs walking the streets of Puerto Rico with a butcher knife and drinking vodka out of water bottles in ER waiting rooms. After years of failed treatment and 'meeting making' without results he found a rigid no-nonsense sponsorship under Cliff B. John dismantles the idea of 'avoiding temptation,' arguing instead for the precise application of the Big Book's first 164 pages. He maps out the wreckage of his relationships—specifically the theft and heartbreak inflicted on his mother—and the subsequent restoration of those bonds through rigorous action. He frames his current life as a 'new employee' of a Higher Power where the job description is simply to find the drunks and plant the seed.
