Like for many normal curious teens exploring and experimenting, John F.K’s drinking and drugging career began when he binged during his first drunk; his abnormal reaction to liquor was normalized amidst raucous 80’s party culture. The teenage binge drinking led to alcohol poisoning seemed un-exceptional and unworrysome and his addiction went undetected by those who may have recognized it. John explains his experience taking drugs and drinking as something sublime, by altering his consciousness he felt like he would be able to understand the deeper mystery of life. Addiction is less about the substance itself and more about what is underneath the addiction, so instead of cutting back on booze John switched to marijuana becoming a connoisseur, a grower and a dealer, essentially an addict obsessed. Mixing in the party drugs of the 90s such as Ecstasy and other Hallucinogens, living a life focused on drugs and not on good choices led to mental crises, dropping out of college, homelessness, psychiatric hospitalization. John got sober in 1995 at the age of 22 and as a result of the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and other spiritual practice, today he’s a fine specimen of manhood as one could ever wish to meet being able to face his life sober successfully, transcend the lows, hold strong through the highs, and make demonstrations of the power of his spiritual practice. And he’s still a party animal. John’s philosophy is he who has the most fun wins, and now it’s just about figuring out what fun actually is.
