America becomes a national phenomenon
Our interview guest for today is America, author of a fascinating and gripping MEMOIR about recovering from oil addiction. America, welcome. Tell us why you wrote this book, what you were trying to do here.
"I feel like this is the defining story of my generation. Of course it was hard to break free oil, once it's in your system you can never be fully rid of it. but Americans like me, we're tough, we can force ourselves to endure that withdrawl, that awful fucking pain- heck, I rode a bike without even fucking stretching first, I hadn't gone anywhere without a motor in so long, man, this was like two weeks out of oil rehab and I absolutely wanted to die. But I dealt with it, because I knew oil had led me down such a destructive road, and incremental weaning wasn't gonna do it. After you've driven Nascar without a helmet, dude, after you've made a cross-country trip without license plates or a muffler just to enjoy the sound of your engine going and stop at as many gas stations as possible, looking for those highway signs with increasing desperation, you have to just let yourself feel whatever pain youre in, and hybrid cars are for pussies who can't face the reality of their own addictions. "
Let's take some questions:
"your story was so inspiring to me, I decided I would finally sell my car even if it costs me my job, because I have been under the thumb of my need for oil way too long, and you're right, minor adjustments with that false "support" just can't cut it."
Wow. Wow. let's hear from someone else.
"I want to be strong like you, and vomit blood for the sake of slaying my demons on my own- but I don't know how."
"First of all, don't accept compromises. Don’t let anyone fool you that steps programs will redeem you. This is something you have to handle yourself, and when you do that, you'll feel so superior that it replaces whatever is currently filling that void within you."
It is my privilege to recommend the American's new memoir to each and every one of you, so please go out and buy it. Discuss with your friends, and maybe use it to bring about healing for yourself or someone you love.
