For many years of his career Stevie Ray Vaughan struggled with drug and alcohol addiction. In the fall of 1986 Stevie's addiction became so bad that he was met with the crossroads of life or death.
He had been hospitalized twice within a span of a few days and his health was rapidly declining. He chose to save himself and entered rehab, successfully completing the program in November, 1986.
At the time of his death in 1990, Stevie was almost four years sober when he tragically lost his life ina helicopter crash.
While performing "Life Without You" in New Orleans, 1988, Stevie gave a powerful speech to the audience about his sobriety and the dangers that drugs caused him. If you are in a hard place right now, listen to his words and enjoy the solo that follows.

@oldbooksguy Well, I’ve been impressed with your catalog of classic writers of the past, however your naïveté of what really happened in the political sphere of many of these writers you have covered but also the ones you haven’t…baffles me.
Why now are you ust wondering about censorship?
First Major World Politician Apologizes To the Unvaccinated: ‘You Were Right, We Were Wrong’
Danielle Smith, the premier of Alberta, Canada, is the first major elected politician in the world to issue a heartfelt apology to the unvaccinated for crimes perpetrated against their human rights by the government during Covid lockdowns.
“I can apologize right now. I’m deeply sorry,” she said, “for anyone who was inappropriately subjected to discrimination as a result of their vaccine status, I’m deeply sorry. For any government employee that was fired from their job, because of their vaccine status, and I welcome them back if they want to come back.”
Colonel Robert L. Stirm was a US airforce pilot who was taken prisoner by the North Vietnamese communists in 1967. He was held captive and tortured for over five years until his release in 1973. His reunion with his family is the subject of the Pulitzer Prize-winning photo Burst of Joy, which you see below. Odd, then, that I have highlighted the face of his wife, Loretta.
While this reunion should have been a moment of unbridled joy, it was not for Colonel Stirm, who had received a letter from his wife three days prior, informing him that she wanted a divorce. Within a year of his capture, Loretta began a series of affairs. Within days of the Colonel's return to US soil, she took his two youngest children, his house, car and 40% of his future pension for life. The Colonel challenged this in court, but lost. He had to go live with his mother and provide for his two older children.
I think this story deserves to be constantly retold as a case study in human betrayal and an early example of how the court system in the US and wider West treats men like dirt - even heroes who have fought and suffered for their country.
