about me

Ex-hippe, now 13 years into a spiritual recovery, formerly worked a physician, but never played one on TV. Do play the guitar and grow organic food, also playing with biodiesel.

Have an insatiable drive to "Tell our Story." Of the darkness of the human heart, and the road available to climb out. How I got there, how someone took my hand and pulled me up. How the therapy for addiction was finding my heart, and my God. And how anyone can do it. Here, take my hand. I have been here before, and I know the way out.

Linville M. Meadows, M.D.

Are you full of pain and fear; overcome by the world and its people, drugs and booze? Controlled by addiction? Your answer may lie here.


I sat crying in the Atlanta airport. My entire world—career, family, professional standing—everything, was being trashed. My priority as a physician had been my job, my job, my job. However, this way of living was killing me; alcohol and cocaine were poisoning me. My brain no longer functioned. I was in constant pain. Depression was a fog worse than the drugs and booze. I had nowhere to turn.

There was no way out. I knew with dread certainly I would spend the rest of my days chasing the dope man down a blind alley until finally a bullet would put an end to my miserable life.

Fortunately, someone took my hand and pulled me into rehab. Deep in my insanity, they kept me eight months. Yet, when I learned to listen to my heart, my life changed. I found a spiritual path—a stretch for a man who never believed in God.

This work bears no relation to James Frey, is not another tearjerker recovery tale. It delivers a practical spirituality. What is that you say? A spirituality that applies to everyday living, and brings real serenity.

Life is easy, if you do it right.

Raymond, I am impressed with your writing. We shall keep hunting for the right agent and publisher. I would much rather write than do all this business stuff, which is usually disappointing.
