Escaping the Drift with John Gafford
From Bank Robber to Sales Success: Luke Lunkenheimer's Journey of Redemption and Resilience

Bro, there are stage three cancer patients that don't have that kind of pain therapy, you know? So I recall one day, I just, you know, What it did for me, you know, if I'm being honest, is it really numbed the emotional pain of, you know, rough childhood. It numbed the fact that I was no longer on this trajectory to be this great athlete.

It numbed the fact that if you had a bad day in sales, that's okay, we'll go get drunk. you wake up the next morning, the hangover goes away in 30 minutes when you take a couple of Lortabs. Like it was just, it was just a miracle drug for me, man. And it was too good to be true. You know, and when I took the drug, I would be just this incredibly talkative, confident salesperson.

You know, there wasn't that social awkwardness or anxiety when you're talking to a customer. It was just, it was incredible. And I remember at one point I had, I heard something in a book somewhere about addicts have a romance with their drug. And I thought to myself, I had, it was like an epiphany moment. I'm like, wow, that's, I thought about them.

I sneak away from the family gatherings and I spend time with drugs. You know, I hide in the corner and I do my drugs and I have my little drugs that I keep a secret from everybody else. The day of reckoning for me when I realized there was an issue, I was walking through the washroom. How long did this go on?
