It was a very good read. Perhaps some others in this business could learn from it as well.

It really makes you think on how life can be...To hear such a personal side of such a public figure..it makes me respect the man more for what he has gone through and coming out the other end. I hope more people in this business will take a page from his book and adopt more humility in their lives.

Thanks to you both, but I really don't deserve any praise here. The change happened because I genuinely had no other choice. Not sure anyone "deserves" accolades for picking the option of last resort.
And it ain't "my" book. I just get to borrow it.

Merry Christmas Jody.What you went through and allowing others to see it , perhaps feel it is a priceless gift. If one person has read it and realized he/she may possibly have seen themselves in similar situations, and made a decision to turn it around,then you gave a lot and and made a difference.God bless you for it,and a new life awaits.

I think the real lesson in this is that we all have our own very personal triumphs and tragedy's. We go through life on a daily basis sometimes aware of others experiencing the same - sometimes we are not aware of what others are going through at any given moment. What causes one to react, behave, or mis-step in one way or another may not have much of anything to do with you or the situation. There are often a lot of factors involved.
Remember this quote from Henry David Thoreau:
"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."

Ya'll are too kind. Indulge me for a minute.
Way back when I was doing overnights, I used to get some pretty sad calls. Anyone who ever has worked the graveyard shift knows what I mean. They were compelling, but I never could put myself in the caller' shoes - or anyone else's for that matter. These days, those same calls come by way of emails. Lots of them. Most having nothing to do with playlists or requests. Some of what I get, even I can't believe. Usually after things like the ST article. And putting myself in another's shoes isn't as hard any more.
These days, there's a single thought that plagues me constantly. What if, just maybe, I was put here for one specific purpose? What if that purpose is the next person I talk to or influence? The catch in thinking that way is that no one could ever know for certain when that purposed moment has been encountered - or even what the result of that encounter might be. That makes every move one makes very critical. Granted, I still blow it more often than not. My temper or impatience gets the better of me, or my willfulness or selfishness. And in fact, whatever purpose intended may have already been achieved. But it sure makes me think about the consequences of inattentiveness.
Ron always used to say "There is only one break" - that being, the next one. He was right in more ways than radio.
