    Read excerpt

    February 1979. I was nineteen, sitting at a San Diego bus depot with dust on my boots and a heavy pack, when a charismatic recruiter named John bought me dinner. He promised a weekend in the snow with good food and attractive women. Instead, I got driven up a mountain to an isolated Moonie compound—trapped in a web of sleep deprivation, endless chanting, and aggressive love-bombing.

    35 years clean. Doesn’t make you wise. Doesn’t make you safe. Just gives you three decades to study your damage from every possible angle. In a Narcotics Anonymous meeting, asked to share about why he doesn't do drugs, he skips the grateful platitudes and delivers a damage report—because sometimes the only honest answer to "why not fire?" is a full accounting of the burns. This isn't a story about overcoming; it's a story about carrying. The crux of it is a video store, one week after leaving hi
