Synopsis

There are people who believe I'm a monster. There are others who say I saved their life. Both of them are telling the truth.

I was a violent drunk who once hit my own little brother when he tried to take a gun out of my hand. I cheated on women I said I loved. I sold drugs, took from people, and told myself stories that made all of it sound reasonable.

I'm also the man a stranger hugged, crying, after telling me he'd planned to end his life that night — and hadn't, because of our conversation.

A Quarter Til Demon Time is about the space between those two men: the moment before impulse becomes action. The breath before you send the message, take the drink, throw the punch, or say the thing you can't take back.

Drawing on addiction, betrayal, military service in Iraq, and years of coaching others through their own worst patterns, John Moore offers a practical, unflinching guide to catching that moment and using it.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

  • Name your demon and recognize what it's really promising you
  • Separate what happened from the story you told yourself about it
  • Trace your patterns upstream to the old rules still running your life
  • Build "banks": simple structures that protect your choices when willpower fails
  • Repair what you can and accept what you can't without drowning in shame
  • Live the evidence until change becomes something people can see

Each chapter ends with a practical worksheet, and all nine are collected in a full-size appendix.

This book is for the angry person destroying the relationships they're afraid of losing, the addict whose "never again" stopped meaning anything, and the person who believes they've already gone too far.

You don't have to become incapable of harm before you're allowed to choose good. You only have to recognize the moment when the choice becomes yours.

That moment is a quarter til demon time.
