Title
The Last Chance Texaco - Spiritual Fuel for the Road to Recovery from Addiction to Drugs and Alcohol
Description
Excerpted from the website: I’m the last guy most people would ever suspect would have a problem with drugs or alcohol. There’s a family picture taken in probably 1971 and I swear my little sister and I look like we’re sitting in the laps of the most optimistic young couple in America. We were LDS—Mormons—living in Idaho and Utah. As a kid I earned money delivering the newspaper, mowing lawns, and shoveling snow. I got reasonable grades though my test scores indicated that I should have done much better. I was an Eagle Scout.
I was also hopelessly unhappy, terminally unique, and, I see now, doomed to look for a solution outside myself to the problems I had inside. Everything worked to a degree. I liked to drink. I took my first drink at age 8 and by the time I was in high school I was regular binge drinker. I always drank to get drunk. I liked pot. The first time I smoked pot I was 14 years old. By age 16 I had become a daily pot smoker. It made me comfortable. It helped me relax. It made the overwhelming problems at home seem to not matter. I would go for extended periods without smoking or drinking, usually because it was inconvenient or I was simply too broke, but I’d always come back to it and never in moderation.
