In the height of my drinking career if I would stop at a moment’s notice, put it down and power through a few weeks of abstinence to prove I didn’t have a problem with alcohol I would succeed in my efforts. This would give me a false positive in my hillbilly makeshift scientific study of whether or not I had a problem with the “occasional adult beverage.”
I was a little late to the party. It was 2011. My wife and I went to see the film “Your Sister’s Sister” at The Belcourt here in Nashville.
To this day I haven’t seen “Humpday.”
Probably gonna have to add that to the list now.”
I remember seeing “Your Sister’s Sister” thinking, how do you do that?
We’ll get there. but first you have to have the context.
On a not so chilly December night I walked into my first meeting for people who feel powerless when it comes to the adult beverage.
The first person to speak to me was the wife of one of the “old-timers” in the meeting. She took one look at me and said, “... right in there,” as she pointed to a room to my right.
Right now the global conversation is on Covid-19. It’s what the old guard of marketing called top of mind awareness. My wife said the other day, “It feels like we’re in the first 15 minutes of a Hollywood blockbuster disaster movie like 2012 or World War Z.” The world is zeroed in on questions, solutions, causes and blame.
