He does, however, remember asking for help at a Zoom meeting with Eagle County government officials and business leaders. A longtime local and active member of the community, John had not only worked with these key leaders, he had made them his friends. The agenda was to discuss the local impacts and strategies around managing the COVID-19 crisis. John made it known he was in crisis himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\u201cI went to that meeting because I wanted help,\u201d he explains. \u201cFifteen years ago, I never would have done that; I would have just sat there in my own misery and wallowed in it and made it worse. But I was like \u2018I want to get out of this,\u2019 and that\u2019s a step.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\u201cI said, \u2018I am struggling right now,\u2019 and I\u2019m sure it was apparent,\u201d he shares. &#8220;I got on that call to ask for help, and I never would have done that before.\u201d Some of the people in that meeting rallied and started the process of getting the help that I needed. For that, I am forever grateful.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\"><strong>Numbing the Pain<\/strong><br>John grew up in Denver, and was the youngest of seven siblings. He recalls a \u201cvery nice upbringing\u201d with a supportive family and lots of good friends. He has since learned of his genetic history and has identified a pre-disposition to addiction on his father\u2019s side. As a kid, John witnessed his dad live as a functioning alcoholic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\u201cHe went to work every day,\u201d recalls John. \u201cHe came from an era that was, as long as you got up and went to work and your business was intact and thriving, you were showing up every day, right? And you did your duties, and then at night you drank to unwind. My dad was a great person who did everything for everyone else, always helping other people. He was too proud and stubborn to accept help for his own struggles, a common challenge facing our society.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vailhealthbh.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/xJohn.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vailhealthbh.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/xJohn.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.vailhealthbh.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/xJohn-200x300.webp 200w, https:\/\/www.vailhealthbh.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/xJohn-8x12.webp 8w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John was in junior high school when he tried alcohol for the first time. He says he remembers sitting there drinking as a familiar feeling surfaced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018Oh, this feels like when I was in the hospital with morphine.\u2019&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The feeling was relief\u2014that which he had felt while severely sick in the hospital with appendicitis and peritonitis at age 12\u2014and John would continue to misuse alcohol at different times in his life to find that feeling of relief from the pain, both physical and emotional.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI am convinced that all substance misuse is driven by another issue, now called dual diagnosis,\u201d he explains. \u201cThe self-medication is a coping mechanism to deal with unsettled emotions. These can be chemical imbalances, traumas and other life issues. Those can manifest in depression, anxiety, mania, etc. The real work and challenge is to get to the root cause of that pain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past 15 years, John has studied addiction through short and long stints at some of the leading inpatient and outpatient facilities throughout the country. \u201cMy crusade has led me to discover that the best medicine for substance misuse is to reduce the stigma, open up about it and share your story,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019ve been on every medication you can think of for this disease, and I\u2019ve found that the cure is the people who understand your challenges and treat you with compassion and respect. Period.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Warning Signs<\/strong><br>John says that when he looks back now, he can recognize manic and depressive episodes that started in his teens and into his twenties. He maintained a sense of balance through the outdoor activities he pursued with passion. Drinking was a social outlet that never seemed to get too out of hand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was in his late-twenties when life shifted. He got married, became a father and began seriously pursuing his career in owning and operating restaurants. He became more sedentary, which affected his mood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere were some challenges at that stage of my life, with a lot of things in terms of pressures from work, relationship issues, emotional traumas,\u201d he shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John started leaning on alcohol more. The only way he could sleep was if he drank at night. \u201cI still got up every day, but I just numbed it every night,\u201d he says. \u201cI made my pain go away with alcohol, temporarily.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John managed this existence for about four years. Eventually his drinking took hold in a way he could no longer control. He recalls a weekend when he couldn\u2019t stop drinking. John checked himself into treatment for 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was hell-bent on staying healthy and eliminating alcohol for the rest of my life,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd that was not so easy. It didn\u2019t turn out to be as easy as anybody would like it to be.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2018Back into Balance\u2019<\/strong><br>John acknowledges how much alcohol is celebrated in the restaurant world and the resort community as a whole, and while this hasn\u2019t made it easy for him to stay sober, social drinking is not the main catalyst for his consumption.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen I drink, I drink alone,\u201d he says. \u201cI drink very poorly, and I drink to excess\u2014to the point where it\u2019s dangerous, physically and mentally dangerous. I would drink to get relief from the pain, if only temporarily. Your subconscious mind can be very tricky. As they say, it is cunning, baffling and powerful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was in his thirties when John realized he should never drink\u2014not in social situations, not just on weekends, not anytime at all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s when I would say my binge drinking pattern started,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd that\u2019s been over the last 15 years. It all depends on where my balance in life is\u2014if I\u2019m in balance, I\u2019m healthy and I\u2019m not drinking at all, and I don\u2019t have episodes. If I\u2019m out of balance, I find that I can only handle so much before\u2026,\u201d he trails off. \u201cMost of the time I can get through it, but that tiny percent\u2026\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John estimates that out of the 365 days in a year, 364 of those days he\u2019s more successful than not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf I&#8217;m not successful,\u201d he adds, \u201cit can range from a bad episode to a just okay episode, where I drank for maybe a day or a night or whatever, and realize, \u2018Okay, that was not what I wanted.\u2019 And I get back into balance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most recently, John had been doing very well, even after a skiing accident and the pandemic. Then, he had another accident that required surgery. \u201cThe fact that one of my vital sources of balance\u2014physical exercise and movement\u2014was taken away caused me to start to go into a tailspin. The ongoing pandemic, the general fear and isolation, and my immobility threw me out of balance. If you throw too much stuff at any one person, their vulnerabilities will come through.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John told his surgical team he struggles with addiction. He knew that managing the post-surgical pain would be a challenge, and he was disappointed when he didn\u2019t receive the support he needed from his care team. \u201cThey had no protocol to deal with a patient with substance use challenges, which is crazy,\u201d he recalls.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John feels there is still a gap in the connection between body and mind health in western medicine. \u201cIt was my local support group, friends and family who got me out of the darkness and into the light,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>It\u2019s Okay to Struggle<\/strong><br>John has seen the dark path of addiction, firsthand. His brother, Dave, also started misusing alcohol in his late-twenties, and while he became sober for over two decades, he experienced some significant life changes and began to spiral into depression. He tried getting help from a general practitioner, who prescribed anti-depressants. Eventually, though, he turned to self-medication in the form of alcohol and ultimately died from depression and alcohol use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John says his brother self-isolated and drifted into the darkness. He didn\u2019t reach out for support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOver the years, I\u2019ve gone from being alone and never asking for help, to now including people so that they know I\u2019m struggling,\u201d says John. \u201cI now know that people want to help, and I too would help them if the tables were turned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John wants people to know it\u2019s ok to struggle, that it doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re weak or a lesser person. He understands the topics of mental health and addiction are uncomfortable for some, to which he says, \u201cWell, it\u2019s time to get uncomfortable.\u201d He shares his story to show others a way toward hope.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen you start opening up, it\u2019s one of the best things you can do, to start talking about it,\u201d he says. \u201cThere are a lot of success stories of people who have overcome their challenges and are living a happy, healthy life, because where you&#8217;re at now is not the way it always has to be.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When what John refers to as the \u201ctrifecta\u201d of trauma, mood disorder and addiction tries to pull him under, he knows the courage and diligence it takes to stay the course. He goes to group meetings regularly; commits time to meditation and centering practices; relishes in his 22-year-old daughter, Lyle; and pursues his passions in the outdoors. He has formed a personal \u201chealth and wellness committee\u201d to support him, led by his significant other, Becca, who he credits with saving his life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John refers to his addiction as a gift because it has made him more compassionate and a better person. Still, he says it\u2019s not easy to live with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd you can\u2019t quit trying,\u201d he shares. \u201cI mean giving up is not an option because sometimes you want to. It\u2019s a lot easier to give up than to keep going. I would say my biggest word ever, always, my whole life, is perseverance.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When reflecting on his journey, John has found himself asking lots of questions, searching for a deeper understanding. He says he\u2019s always been seeking answers to difficult questions like, \u201cWhy do I have bipolar disorder, why do I struggle with addiction?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When he finally found the answer he was looking for, he explains a moment of clarity. \u201cA light bulb went off in my mind, and suddenly I was at ease. The answer to all my questions is, and has been, that there is no answer,\u201d he says. \u201cLife is life. It\u2019s beautiful, tragic and challenging. We seek to understand the \u2018whys\u2019 behind it all, but once we accept that \u2018it is what it is,\u2019 we can find happiness and peace. Attitude is everything\u2014life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>If you or a loved one need help, call the Hope Center at (970) 306-4673.
